William Bricker arrested in September - decades after alleged assaults

Charged with immoral and indecent acts against two boys and one girl

Attacks reportedly occurred at Wyoming camp in 1962, 1968 and 1985

But now, newly-found memo has suggested there may be 100 victims

Released by school district, it says: 'Could have 100 children abused'

Bricker, now 94, 'has heart failure and breathes through oxygen tank'

He must undergo competency evaluation before an extradition hearing

A 94-year-old former camp counselor and gym teacher who is charged with multiple sex crimes against children may have abused a staggering 100 youngsters, a new memo has suggested.

William Bricker was arrested at his retirement community, the Tendercare Health and Rehab Center in Garfield Township, Wyoming, in September after allegedly abusing two boys and one girl.

He was later charged with immoral and indecent acts with a child over the alleged sexual assaults, two of which reportedly occurred against two boys at Teton Valley Ranch Camp in 1962 and '85.

The third apparent attack involved a 14-year-old girl who was reportedly kissed and fondled by Bricker during an overnight camping trip at Grand Teton National Park in 1968.After he was charged, Bricker's former employer, Winnetka District 36, released hundreds of pages of his personnel records, some indicating school officials knew of his alleged crimes decades ago.

But now, a handwritten page dated 1995 - a decade after Bricker left his job at District 36's Hubbard Woods School - has been unearthed that suggests there may have been up to 100 victims.

The memo, written during the tenure of then-Superintendent Rebecca van der Bogert, includes the shocking phrase: 'Could have 100 children abused', according to the Chicago Tribune.It also features references to the Cook County state's attorney and school lawyers, as well as phrases that apparently read: 'Letting sleeping dogs lie may be more helpful' and 'no proof'.

Although the page appears to describe the Winnetka school district's reaction to the allegations made against Bricker, it remains unclear who wrote the memo, who it was written for, nor why it was written.

'We are not in a position to comment on or interpret documents prepared by others almost 20 years ago,' district attorney, Michael Loizzi, told the newspaper.

The charges stem from information investigators received in February about abuse at the Teton Valley Ranch Camp, according to an affidavit filed in Teton County Circuit Court.

One former scout claimed he was molested aged 13 by Bricker in a bunk-style cabin at the camp in 1962, adding that he had initially brought the alleged assault up in the late 1960s.

He thought he 'had communicated' to an assistant Boy Scouts leader at the time who he knew about the accusations and had been 'hurt', the affidavit said.

The man, now aged 65, told investigators 'he never heard the Boy Scouts ... did anything about the accusation at that time,' it added.

But Boy Scouts of America spokesman, Deron Smith, argued that the group was not aware of the allegations against Bricker until earlier this year.

John Balyo, 36, of Caledonia, Michigan, was arrested in June as part of a sex trafficking ring bust

Police found Balyo's lock-up where he stashed child porn and practised a sexual kidnapping fantasy with a child-sized mannequin

He photographed the rape of 11-year-old boy at a Kalamazoo County hotel in May - two weeks after his wedding

A former Christian radio host was called a 'wolf in sheep's clothing' on Thursday as he was sentenced to 40 years for raping an 11-year-old boy.

John Balyo, 36, of Caledonia, Michigan, was arrested in a June as part of a sex trafficking ring bust, and in September, pleaded guilty to sexually abusing the child in a hotel room.

At the sentencing hearing, Judge Robert Holmes Bell said it was difficult to reconcile Balyo's public image as a newlywed expectant father, who was a camp counselor and missionary volunteer, with that of the sadistic pedophile which came to light in the police investigation.

Police found Balyo's lock-up where he stashed child pornography and practised a sexual kidnapping fantasy with a child-sized mannequin.

He also had a bondage kit of rolls of duct tape, four pairs of handcuffs, parachute cord, nylon rope, 107 zip ties, a set of rubber gloves, two lengths of 18-inch chain and a padlock.

The 36-year-old raped the 11-year-old boy in a Battle Creek motel in May - two weeks after his wedding.

In August, Balyo pleaded guilty to photographing sex acts with the 11-year-old in May after paying him, then handcuffing the child to a bed. In a sentencing statement, Assistant U.S. Attorney Tessa K. Hessmiller wrote: 'No one ever reported any misgivings or indiscretions about Balyo. But he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.

'But underneath the surface, he was feeding a morbid and sadistic fascination with children, creating and accumulating pedophilic materials, rehearsing a sexual kidnapping fantasy with a gun and a child-sized mannequin and meeting clandestinely in hotel rooms with young boys in bondage.

'Balyo's three meetings with (victim 1) resulted in sexual exploitation and degradation of a child in the most depraved ways.'Balyo, a host at WCSG, was arrested in June at the Big Ticket Christian music festival in Gaylord, Michigan.

He admitted at the time that he had a rented storage unit where he kept a 'bondage kit', a federal spokesman confirmed to MailOnline. Handcuffs and other items were found in a suitcase after police searched a storage unit in Plainfield Township.

Balyo paid another man, 41-year-old Ronald Moser, to arrange a sex session with a minor for him through a child sex trafficking website he ran.

According to Mlive.com, in a photo album posted online by Moser, there were ten images of a young boy lying face down on a bed.

His hands and feet were bound and he was wearing only underwear, which had been rolled up to show his buttocks, according to a federal agent.

The albums had titles such as 'very cute boy,' and 'sexy boys', police said.

The FBI said Moser put images online and planned to trade in child porn. It is alleged that Moser ran a website providing sex with underage boys for money.

The investigation into the alleged pedophiles has involved multiple agencies as part of a larger 'Operation Predator'.

The resulting investigation found that Mills had been running an unlicensed day care from his home in Sanford, which was actually just a front for producing child porn, Harnett County officials told the Associated Press this week.

Mills had previously been convicted of taking indecent liberties with a child in both 1997 and 2000. He registered as a sex offender, but his name expired from the registry in 2006, according to Dreamin’ Demon.

He is currently charged with first-degree rape of a child, first-degree sexual exploitation of a child, statutory rape of a child, first-degree statutory sex offense and indecent liberties with a child, according to WNCN.

Since Mills’ arrest in January, four more people have been arrested in connection with the child porn operation, WNCN reports.

Elizabeth Holland Mills, 34, was arrested in January and charged with second-degree sexual exploitation of a child, first-degree statutory sex offense with a child and indecent liberties with a child.

Rashawn Rodriguez Drake Jackson, 20, was arrested in April and charged with first-degree sex offense with a child and felony conspiracy.

Jordan Busse, 29, was arrested in June and charged with soliciting a child by computer for sex and felony conspiracy.

The most recent arrest, 50-year-old Tommy Keith Wall, took place on Tuesday. Wall is charged with first-degree rape of a child, felony conspiracy and first-degree sex offense with a child.

2014
A paedophile is to out himself on TV tonight in the hope it will encourage society to offer more support to those sexually attracted to children.

Eddie admits to being aroused by four-year-old girls, while insisting he has never committed a crime, in The Paedophile Next Door on Channel 4.

The 39-year-old tells documentary maker Steve Humphries: ‘People will probably say, “Why isn’t this guy locked up? We should kill this guy, we should go and give him a good shoeing.” I, honest to God, won’t run away from you and if that is what you want to do to me, you come and do it, because all you are doing in that scenario is just keeping the status quo.’

Eddie, who is seeking therapy, meets child abuse victim Ian McFadyen, 49, who tells him: ‘Eighteen years ago I was quite violent, I would probably have attempted to kill you.’

The documentary also quotes research which suggests one in 50 men could be attracted to children.

Jon Brown, the NSPCC’s head of strategy and development, agreed a more open debate was needed.

But he added: ‘The problem at the moment, and over the last decade, is the hugely increased availability of child abuse imagery online.’

Peter Saunders, founder of the National Association of People Abused in Childhood, told Metro: ‘The reality is there is probably not a paedophile “next door” but there are child abusers on practically every street in the land. And they will never admit their foul deeds and thoughts.

‘We have to tackle these sordid issues head on and if someone is seeking help, better we do that before they offend rather than after.’

Now police investigate two undercover officers over claims they abused former child actor at guest house 'used by VIP paedophile ring'

Lee Towsey claims the officers abused him at the South-West guesthouse

Police are also accused of covering up abuse claims against an MP there

The Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards is leading the inquiry

Two former police officers are being investigated over claims they sexually abused a former child actor at a guesthouse allegedly frequented by VIPs and politicians, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Lee Towsey claims two undercover officers, who were themselves investigating abuse claims, sexually assaulted him at the Elm Guest House in South-West London.

The guesthouse is at the centre of a police investigation looking into allegations that young boys were abused by Westminster politicians, judges, pop stars and a member of the Royal household.

The new revelation comes amid a flood of serious allegations, including that police covered up the name of an MP who abused a child at the former guesthouse.

Earlier this month, Home Secretary Theresa May described claims that MPs murdered and abused children at an exclusive block of flats as ‘the tip of the iceberg’.

In an interview with The Mail on Sunday in April, Mr Towsey said he had sex with two officers who were gaining intelligence on the guesthouse prior to the June 1982 raid.

Mr Towsey worked as a masseur at the guesthouse but was 16 at the time of the offences, which was under the age of homosexual consent then. He said: ‘The first came in April and I had sex with him.

‘He turned out to be one of the officers who later raided the house.

‘He came back about three weeks later and hired a room. He stayed two nights and on the second night his partner stayed too.

‘I ended up having sex with them. Afterwards they asked me “how much” and I told them that they were not clients and I felt insulted they wanted to pay me.’

Mr Towsey, who appeared in Grange Hill and Doctor Who, was taken to Richmond police station after the raid, where, he claims, he saw the second officer. Metropolitan Police detectives launched the investigation after Mr Towsey reported the allegations to police in early 2013. It referred the matter the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC), but the watchdog decided not to investigate and sent the case back to the Met.

The Met’s Directorate of Professional Standards is now leading the investigation, Operation Yvonne, into the former officers, who were police constables at the time of the alleged offence.

Scotland Yard has refused to release their names.

After the raid the guesthouse owners, Harry and Carole Kasir, were convicted of keeping a disorderly house and having obscene videos. They were given a two-year suspended sentence and fined £1,000.

The Government is deliberately sabotaging the inquiry into historic claims of child abuse to protect “high profile figures,” a Labour MP has claimed.

Simon Danczuk, the backbencher who has led the calls for an inquiry into allegations of abuse dating back decades, said the problems which had dogged the probe set up last summer appeared to have been “quite deliberate mistakes by people in central Government.”

A victims’ representative said the only people who wished to see the inquiry fail were the abusers themselves.

Asked if he thought Theresa May, the Home Secretary, was responsible for a deliberate cover-up, Mr Danczuk said he was confident she wanted to get to the truth.

But he warned that victims could engage in “direct action” unless they began to see justice.
He told BBC Radio 4’s Today Programme: “If Government are set on doing this then it can be achieved, but you can’t help thinking that they aren’t intent on getting this right.

“There’s a catalogue of mistakes that have been made, some of them fairly basic, and you can’t blame the survivors of child abuse for wondering, because of the allegations of high-profile figures involved in the abuse, you can’t help thinking that some of this is quite deliberate mistakes by people in central government.”

Asked why the Government would want to sabotage the probe, he went on: “Well, because they don’t want to get to the truth. That would be the allegation. And you can’t help people for thinking that, you can’t blame people.

“The Home Secretary in this process is in complete disarray and what you have to think about are the survivors of child abuse, some of the people who have been abused by – the allegation is – some fairly high-profile figures in our society. They must be utterly dismayed by this lack of process and lack of progress.

“We’re not getting any satisfaction from Government because we’re not moving forward and it’s been six months now, one mistake after another ... I think that people will turn to more direct action and you can hardly blame them.”

Asked what form the direct action could take, Mr Danczuk made clear he wasn’t calling for violence.
“I’m talking about a more coordinated campaign, survivor groups coming together in a more coordinated way, perhaps more and bigger peaceful protests, more challenging of ministers, more challenging of the police to take action and I think that has to be the route in which we go because there’s very little faith in the Government in delivering this,” he said.

Peter Saunders, of the National Association for People Abused in Childhood, welcomed Mrs May’s suggestion that the child abuse could be scrapped and replaced with one with stronger powers, saying that victims had lost confidence in the current inquiry.

He said: “The only people who want to see this fail, to not get off the ground and to not do the work that it potentially would be able to do are abusers themselves or those people who have covered up in the past.

“I have yet to encounter any survivors themselves who have any confidence in the process and in the panel as it is currently constituted.

“And really what this is about, it’s about having the confidence of the people who are at the heart of this inquiry, which is the survivors/victims themselves. Without that, it becomes a meaningless exercise.”

However Tim Loughton, a Conservative MP who serves on the Home Affairs Select Committee, warned against scrapping the current inquiry, saying the panel needed to “get on with it.”

He said: “I know there are question marks about how the panel members were appointed, there is a lot of distrust out there – not surprisingly, given the many years and decades survivors had to suffer in silence, not being believed. But that has all changed.”

He criticised Mr Danczuk for suggesting that the Government had deliberately undermined the inquiry.

Saying Mrs May was instrumental in setting up the inquiry in the first place, he went on: “She wants it to succeed, she wants it to get to the bottom of the truth.”

The source added: “They got wind of this after an incident at Balmoral when he screamed in the night.”

The concerned friend, who worked for the royals at the time, immediately alerted the boy’s parents.

He told them: “This is something that you should have nothing to do with.”

Reports from the time reveal further details of the boy’s ordeal.

One says his parents discovered a *handwritten note from him.

It read: “What Buckingham Palace did for me was exploitation of the highest order.”

The boy’s mother said at the time: “My son was happy and normal until he went there.

"Then he changed completely. He refused to talk to us or discuss what he was up to.”

The boy’s father also claimed that young Palace staff were lavished with expensive gifts for “entertaining men”.

He added: “In some cases Palace *officials were involved.

“Afterwards, the servants got good references to take up posts abroad with wealthy employers.”

According to the Home Office files, the desperate parents wrote to Geoffrey Dickens for help.

The MP raised the mother’s concerns with the Home Secretary in 1983.

But Mr Dickens received a reply saying Leon Brittan felt it would not be practical to carry out a detailed investigation.

He wrote: “I need hardly assure you that the Royal Household is extremely concerned at these unsubstantiated *allegations and it is, of course, their policy to take every step to avoid an occurrence of such as is alleged.

Mr Brittan indicated that her son had worked at Buckingham Palace for a year, adding: “It is extremely difficult to *comment on the accuracy of the *allegations in the letter.”

But an even more chilling development is contained in the files, lending weight to the claims that a paedophile VIP ring was linked to the Palace.

During his time at Buckingham Palace, the 16-year-old was approached by notorious paedophile Sir Peter Hayman and was asked to work for him in Canada, where he was ambassador.

Hayman has been identified as a member of the VIP paedophile ring operating in Westminster and is known to have had royal connections.

He was desperate to have the boy working for him, even writing to his parents to ask them about taking his son on as a footman. Hayman said the boy would need winter clothes.

The parents never found out how Hayman knew their son.

But the source said: “They knew there was something wrong.”

The parents were so concerned by Hayman’s approach that they attempted to stop their son working for him, the family friend explained.

Exaro has established that the boy’s parents intervened to stop him going to Canada to work for Hayman.

Mr Watson, who has led the campaign for a full-scale inquiry into claims of child sex abuse at the heart of the Establishment, said: “In light of what we now know, any allegation of sexual crimes regarding Peter Hayman should be thoroughly investigated.

“He was protected by the Establishment at the time.

“The full extent of how his conduct was covered up has not been explained.”

The parents and their son have declined to comment on the allegations.

But the revelations link Buckingham Palace to a paedophile network of MPs and powerful figures that operated over many years in the UK.

The biologist and author described the sexual abuse that occurred among his former classmates as "mild touching up"

In a recent interview with the Times magazine, Richard Dawkins attempted to defend what he called “mild pedophilia,” which, he says, he personally experienced as a young child and does not believe causes “lasting harm.”

Dawkins went on to say that one of his former school masters “pulled me on his knee and put his hand inside my shorts,” and that to condemn this “mild touching up” as sexual abuse today would somehow be unfair.

“I am very conscious that you can’t condemn people of an earlier era by the standards of ours. Just as we don’t look back at the 18th and 19th centuries and condemn people for racism in the same way as we would condemn a modern person for racism, I look back a few decades to my childhood and see things like caning, like mild pedophilia, and can’t find it in me to condemn it by the same standards as I or anyone would today,” he said.

Plus, he added, though his other classmates also experienced abuse at the hands of this teacher, “I don’t think he did any of us lasting harm.”

Child welfare experts responded to Dawkins’ remarks with outrage — and concern over their effect on survivors of abuse.

As noted by the Religion News Service, Peter Watt, director of child protection at the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, called Dawkins’ defense of sexual assault “a terrible slight” to victims of such abuse.

“Mr. Dawkins seems to think that because a crime was committed a long time ago we should judge it in a different way,” Watt continued. “But we know that the victims of sexual abuse suffer the same effects whether it was 50 years ago or yesterday.”

Sickest of the sick: Dating website for PEDOPHILES exposed by Mirror investigation

A Sunday Mirror investigation discovered Family4Love.com encourages male and female pedophiles to get together and raise their own little victims to rape and abuse

2014

A vile social network site created to help perverts breed children for sex has been exposed by a Sunday Mirror investigation.

Family4Love.com encourages male and female pedophiles to get together and raise their own little victims to rape and abuse – sometimes from birth.

They share their sick experiences and swap images of incest and child sex before arranging a ‘date’ with a view to a quick ‘marriage’ from hell.

We sent an undercover reporter into the site, as a 30-year-old single female – and soon she was talking to a civil servant from the West Midlands.

Over several weeks he boasted online to her of his perversions – including repeated claims of raping a 13-year-old family member and attacks on minors he worked with at a US holiday camp.

He told her he wanted a woman to start a family with and that he “wouldn’t wait much longer than four or five years” to begin abusing their children.

He said what he wanted out of the relationship was “sex with children, teaching them, having a family and doing the same and exploring that and taking the kids and teaching them about their bodies and what to do without fear and embarrassment and training them... it’s simple as that”.

And when our girl agreed to meet him in a London park, the full depths of his depravity emerged.

The history enthusiast spoke of child sex with relish.

He said: “You have to have it. And you won’t be happy until you do. It’s like catnip.”

He said he only stopped abusing his family member because she moved overseas, but claimed he still had “access” to young girls, including a 12-year old girl in London.

The fat grinning pedophile boasted of his grooming skills and said he and the underage family member “had a very enjoyable two or three years together and it was great fun.

“I taught her well. You encourage and support and show them they’re loved – and then you get what you want.”

He dismissed laws on incest and the legal age of consent as arbitrary rules imposed by the Government.

“The law is an ass. Today half the ancestors of the European monarchy would be classed as pedophiles,” he said.

“If you look at William the *Conqueror’s wife, I think she got married at the age of 10.”

The man also bragged about his Family4Love.com connections.

He said they included a woman whose 15-year-old daughter is being abused by her dad and a Swedish couple he claims regularly bring their children to London to “swap” with other pedophiles.

The pervert our reporter met is one of around 3,000 members on the Facebook-style site which has users from the USA, Britain and Europe.

It started in the USA but has recently seen a spike in British sign-ups with more than 100 joining the groups specifically for UK users.

On groups called UK Family Love and English Incest, men and women hint at their experiences of abusing children and their plans to do so in the future.

One user calling herself Katie, claims to be in her 20s and from Gloucester.

In the group called UK Family Love she wrote: “I joined F4L in the hope of meeting young guys that believe in family love as I do in the hope of meeting and hopefully starting a family together.”

Special language on the site tells other users when members are already having sexual relationships with other members – they are known as “active families” or “loving families”.

The site was investigated by the *American Department for Homeland Security last year and a man was seized in a sting after allegedly trying to arrange an incestuous sexual tryst with what he believed to be a father and his two underage children.

A man was held following a series of explicit conversations on Family4Love about a planned sexual encounter with a 12-year-old boy, his 11-year-old sister and their father.

After his arrest the site closed briefly but was soon back online with a different host attracting more users.

Until three months ago only a handful were from Britain but the site’s popularity here is growing at a disturbing rate.

The sudden rise in UK numbers comes after a National Crime Agency report estimated 50,000 people are involved in downloading and sharing images of child abuse.

Worryingly, the agency’s director general Keith Bristow admitted: “We won’t be able to identify all of them and we won’t necessarily be able to bring all of them to justice.”

The pervert our girl met was certainly not worried about being caught.

He used a fake name on the site and also claimed to have signed up under a false foreign email address to throw British cops off his scent.

He said: “You’ve got 50-odd thousand people the police can’t keep an eye on because there are simply too many. And that’ll just be the tip of the iceberg."

And he added chillingly: “It’s people trying to control other people and you can’t do it. What are you going to do when there are two million? Three million? Six...? And that’s the way it’s going.”

Over several weeks, our girl spoke to a further four men at length – one of whom claimed to be sexually active with his daughter and son from a broken marriage.

The man, who calls himself Lee on his profile, confessed he had joined the site to find a woman who – unlike his children’s mother – would be interested in becoming involved in the abuse of future children.
When asked what age he would start to abuse his offspring, he simply replied: “Birth”.

A 21-year-old man calling himself Charlie told our reporter he was from the Midlands and claimed he and his fiancée are currently trying for a baby to abuse.

He said: “I’m hoping for a girl but I will leave it until she is about seven to start her.”

Then he asked: “Do you have access to any young ones we could share?”

A couple using the names Abigail and Dave claim to be siblings.

They state on their profile that they live together with their own twin children and like incest. Another Brit user openly admits he is “a bi grandad who loves incest – dad/son, grandad/grandson and daughters and granddaughters”.

In the interests section of his profile, he simply states: “men, women, boys, girls”.

But many users want relationships through the site so they can have *children to abuse One calling himself Bob said: “I would love to become part of someone’s family or find someone to start our own open family with.”

Under a 2012 amendment to the Obscene Publications Act, web chats and text conversations can be treated as illegal if they reference or incite criminal activity.

Yet as long as this site goes *unmonitored by authorities the *likelihood of *intercepting abusers before they breed their own victims remains slim.

The Sunday Mirror first contacted Staffordshire Police on November 21 and handed over all of our evidence by the 26th.

They made their arrest on Wednesday.

Det Chief Insp Dave Giles said: “Acting on information received by the Sunday Mirror a 50-year-old man from South Staffordshire was arrested on Wednesday morning.

“He was interviewed by detectives before being released on bail while inquiries continue. Bail has been set and will be reviewed as the investigation progresses.

"It would be inappropriate for us to comment any further on the specifics of the investigation at this early stage. Our priority is to protect and safeguard victims, and gather evidence to support prosecutions.

“It is not appropriate for police to involve witnesses, or their associates, in policing operations as this could *ultimately jeopardise a judicial process.”

UK: Ten men jailed for 34 years for sexually exploiting teenager, 13, after mother discovers shocking content on girl's phone

Girl posted a profile on a dating website claiming to be aged 18

A total of thirty men aged 14-45 were in touch with the teenager

They were tracked down after mother found sexual content on her phone

She is now emotionally scarred and is under intensive treatment

Ten men have been jailed for a total of 34 years after sexually abusing a 13-year-old girl who posted a profile on a dating website.

Dozens of men contacted the teenager after seeing her details online - but while many broke off contact when they discovered her true age, others continued to pursue her for sex.

A total of 30 suspects from all around the country, none of whom knew each other, committed offences against the girl, including having sex with her and persuading her to send explicit pictures of herself.

The girl, from North Yorkshire, was left mentally scarred by her experiences, and is now receiving intensive professional help.

She made the dating profile, on which she claimed to be 18, because she was looking for a romantic relationship, but the men who responded were only interested in sex.

The paedophiles ranged in age from 20 to 45, with one 14-year-old boy also implicated.

Her mother suspected something was wrong after the girl got lost on her way home, and examined her mobile phone.

She found a large number of highly sexual text messages and pictures on the child’s mobile phone and handed it to officers. They used it and other evidence to track down the suspects.

The men who were found to have had sexual contact with the girl included a teacher, a shop worker, a travelling salesman and others.

THE 12 MEN WHO COMMITTED SEXUAL OFFENCES INVOLVING THE CHILD

Mark Andrew Harris, 39, of York, jailed for four years and six months for two offences of having sexual activity with a child.

Adam James Noble, 24, of Hessay, near York, convicted of four sexual offences involving children, admitted a fifth and was jailed for six years.

Craig Spencer Wilkinson, 32, of Scarborough. Admitted eight sexual charges and was jailed for six years.

Mark Stuart Lindsay, 33, of Grasby, Grimsby. Jailed for four and a half years for having sexual activity with a child, grooming a child for sex and arranging a sex meeting with a child.

Michael Ford, 39, of Acomb, York, jailed for three years for six sex offences.

Philip Andrew Scaife, 30, of Sheriff Hutton, jailed for two years and eight months for eight sex offences.

Mark Long, 34, of Harrogate, jailed for two years and eight months for seven sex offences.

Matthew Gareth Horrocks, 30, of Acomb, jailed for two years and four months for two offences of involving a child in sexual activity.

Tobias Robert Tobin, 23, of Wetherby. Jailed for 15 months for five sexual offences.

Disgraced Cambridgeshire Police sergeant Nick Lidstone, 54, admitted a series of rapes and child sex attacks relating to one victim at an earlier hearing at Norwich Crown Court.

He was sentenced to 14 and a half years.

The victim, who cannot be named for legal reasons, reported years of abuse which culminated in being raped as an adult.

During a hearing this morning it emerged Lidstone was arrested eight years earlier for taking ‘up-skirt’ pictures of children with a spy pen in a branch of Tesco.

He was given a conditional discharge after pleading guilty to a public order offence at North and East Hertfordshire Magistrates’ Court in 2005. Because he was not charged with a sexual offence, his name was not placed on the sex offenders’ register.

All of his most serious abuse happened after this offence.

Lidstone was allowed to keep his job and it was not until he admitted the abuse last month that he was dismissed from his role at the force’s headquarters.

Prosecutor Andrew Shaw said the pictures were of ‘young children’ and there was some doubt over whether the worst of the images were found.

Kerry Broome, mitigating, said Lidstone had been allowed to stay with the force after agreeing to undergo counselling.

Lidstone, from Heslerton Way, Barrington, Cambridgeshire, pleaded guilty to 13 offences including three counts of rape, three counts of indecency with a child, various sexual assaults and taking an indecent photograph of a child.

Judge Anthony Bate said he had used his victim as a ‘sexual toy’. He placed Lidstone on the sex offenders’ register for life.
He added: ‘You have one previous conviction which has two worrying aspects: firstly, the nature of the offence and secondly, the fact you were convicted under public order legislation when quite clearly these were serious sexual offences.

‘You had armed yourself with a covert camera and were found taking pictures of children. Why on earth you were not charged under the sexual offences act, I do not know.

‘Whoever took that decision, it allowed you to carry on as a police officer.’

When convicted Spanish pedophile Daniel Fino Galvan was pardoned by the king of Morocco last month, ferocious protests erupted all over the country. The child molester—who had only served a year and a half of his 30-year sentence for raping 11 children in the north African country—was among the 48 Spanish citizens released from Moroccan jails on the request of Spanish King Juan Carlos during his recent official visit.

After widespread outrage from the Moroccan public—and after their protests had been cleared by police with bats—the king revoked the pardon and, days later, Galvan was rearrested in Spain. There is no precedent of Moroccans disagreeing with a royal decision and the events have shaken the authorities, dredging up a long-standing mistrust between the country's monarchy and elected officials, neither of whom wanted to take responsibility for Galvan’s release.

The king claims he had no idea of Galvan's crimes and would have never pardoned him had he been aware. Which might seem like a bulletproof defense to King Mohammed, but actually almost makes things worse; how can a population support a king who carelessly releases pedophiles from incarceration without even checking their crimes, before brazenly shifting the blame wherever he can? The chief of prisons, sacked in response to the protests, is widely seen as a scapegoat, but I'm assuming that vindication doesn't exactly validate the fact that he lost his job for somebody else's mistake.

Depressingly, Galvan's is not a unique case. Just over a month before his early release, a British man was arrested in Tetouan, northern Morocco, after abducting a six-year-old girl; a month before that, a 60-year-old French man was sentenced to 12 years in a Casablanca prison for sexually abusing a number of young children. Reports surrounding both those cases painted Morocco as a pedophile haven, being much easier to access from Europe (it's the only place Ryanair flies to outside of Europe) than southeast Asia's child-abuse vacation destinations and populated by disadvantaged children—an easy target for pedophile tourists.

Morocco has been a blind spot for decades. Despite pretty stringent laws against homosexuality, it was the favored getaway location for high-profile gay men before Western Europe began to relax its stance on same-sex relationships; sex-change operations were taking place in Morocco before countries in Europe legalized them, and the prevalence of hash on the country's streets is a cliche based firmly in fact.

Unfortunately, for all the benefits of its relatively lax authority, that freedom allows other notably more abhorrent freedoms to slip through, angering Moroccans, who first protested in Casablanca in May for better protection of children and then much more heatedly in the days following Galvan's release.

At his original trial, the judge asked Galvan why he came to Morocco to abuse children. Galvan replied, “Because it’s cheap and, with money, you can get anything you want.” Galvan’s crude response has been echoed by a number of the people I contacted.

I asked Bhati Patel, CEO of ECPAT UK, an organization working to stop children being sexually exploited and trafficked, why Morocco was suffering so much. She told me that "poverty is high [in Morocco], inequality is high, and they see that the government is not playing its part in protecting children […] they look for regions where they know that they can get away with this action and there is easily available access to children."

There are a couple of things that make tackling the problem difficult. Firstly, there’s no knowing who these pedophiles could be. As Patel explained to me, "There isn’t a single profile of who the pedophile is—it could be anyone. It could be a politician, it could be a local person traveling abroad, because travel has become quite cheap now. There isn’t a single profiling characteristic.” Patel's mention to politicians is a reference to the French government minister who was accused a few years ago of having orgies with underage boys in Marrakech.

Secondly, there are almost no statistics on the subject. I got in contact with Najat Anwar, chair of the Touche Pas à Mon Enfant (Don't Touch My Child) association. "The official statistics on pedo-tourism are basically nonexistent," she told me. "A few years ago, we could give the public some statistics about the year, but those were based solely on the complaints received by our organization. It’s because of this that the observation of children has such an essential role to play in the calculation and diffusion of statistics, but hits insurmountable legal obstacles and therefore we can only count the declared cases of paedophilia, which remain an insignificantly small proportion of the total."

Touche Pas à Mon Enfant were an integral part of the original Casablanca protests in May. I asked Najat what she thought of the recent protests over Galvan’s release. "If it’s as much of an awakening as we think it is, it has been wonderful," she answered. "The popular abhorrence toward this freeing has made Moroccans feel that a grave danger threatens their children. We simply hope this mobilization will be long-lasting rather than an ephemeral spark."

The mixture of Morocco’s close proximity to Europe, the in-expense of getting there, the poverty in rural areas, and the authorities' tendency to turn a blind eye has left Morocco with a serious problem—one that will especially affect children from poorer backgrounds, often forgotten in the financially segregated Middle East.

Though there are a few growing organizations like Touche Pas à Mon Enfant, which is composed mainly of parents taking matters into their own hands, the authorities have a long way to go to fix the poverty, lack of enforcement, and corruption that has left Morocco’s children so vulnerable.

As Najat told me, "There’s still a lot to be done for the child victims of this dirty tourism, and we have hope, we have a dream. I hope this popular awakening through the Galvan case will make other potential foreign pedophiles think twice. The dream is for our country to be visited for its beaches and its mountains, not for its children."

Pedophile ring 'groomed young girls before repeatedly abusing them in an empty holiday cottage'

2010

Six pedophiles who plied girls as young as five with drugs before subjecting them to sickening *sexual abuse have been jailed.

As many as 30 young victims are believed to have been targeted by the gang led by convicted sex offender John Barrett, who groomed them with cigarettes and then passed them on to other men.

Following one of the largest investigations of its kind by police in West Cornwall, James Machin, 54, from Falmouth, yesterday became the latest man to be convicted.

The kitchen fitter will be sentenced on Monday at Truro Crown Court for ten charges, which he had denied, including rape, and making and possessing indecent images of children.

Following his conviction, details of the five other men in the gang have been released after reporting restrictions were lifted.

They are Barrett, 49, John Wrey, 55, Derek Shepherd, 63, Alan Wills, 46 and Mark Cox, 43. All have received jail terms.

Police smashed the ring when they arrested Barrett in December 2007, triggering a complex three-year investigation, called Operation Lakeland.

Officers described the abuse that they uncovered as ‘horrific’.

Barrett, from the Camborne area, was jailed for 14 years and six months in 2008 for 16 sexual offences. He abused two girls aged five and seven and passed them on to John Wrey to do the same.

Wrey, from Hayle, who was arrested at the same time, is serving a five-and-a-half year sentence after he was also convicted in 2008.

During Machin’s trial, the court heard Barrett and Machin took the young girls to an empty holiday cottage in Flushing, near Falmouth, for which Machin had a key.

The victims, some as young as five, were repeatedly raped and abused, with the prosecution describing the offences as ‘abominable’ and ‘depraved’.

Prosecutor Jonathan Barnes said: ‘This case is not about what John Barrett did in abusing these girls in an abominable way.

‘He not only sexually abused these girls, he made both girls available to be abused by other pedophiles. The Crown’s case against the defendant is that he was one of the other pedophiles involved.’

The net began to close in on *Barrett when he was confronted by the parents of one of the girls accusing him of offering her cigarettes. He denied any wrongdoing but was arrested. The girls were interviewed and later disclosed they had been sexually abused by Barrett and other men.

Jurors were told that hours before Barrett was arrested, he had phoned Machin to warn him the police were closing in.

‘We say it was a case of one pedophile tipping off another pedophile, giving him the opportunity to get rid of pornographic material,’ Mr Barnes said.

Machin, who was finally arrested in June last year, tried to cover his tracks by steam cleaning the inside of his black Mercedes van and *trying to wipe the hard drives of two of his laptop computers, which contained large quantities of child pornography.

Jurors heard that Machin made the two girls inhale the clubbing drug ‘Poppers’ to relax them during the abuse.

After the convictions, Detective Inspector Simon Snell said: ‘We are talking about the rapes of very young children for a number of years. The abuse has been really awful.’

He said the children, who are all undergoing counselling, might never recover.

‘Some of them may get over it,’ he said. ‘But my view is that it is something they will never forget for the rest of their lives.’

Teenager who has been dating her long-lost FATHER for two years reveals the pair are planning to get married - and have children

An 18-year-old girl is revealing in a new interview that she has been dating her father for two years

The pair were estranged for 12 years, but met up again when she was 16, having sex the week they were reunited

They were soon dating and are now planning their wedding

After their wedding they plan on moving to New Jersey and having children, were adult incest is legal

2015

A young girl who is planning her upcoming wedding may have some trouble getting her mother to attend the ceremony - as she is marrying her father.

The unnamed 18-year-old is revealing all the details of her two year relationship with her father in an interview with Science of Us, from how they fell in love and the first time they had sex to what their plans are for the future.

And one of those plans she is very certain of - the two will have children.

The woman, who hails from the Great Lakes region, reconnected with her father when she was 16, this after 12 years of estrangement.

Her parents got pregnant on Prom night, and she grew up with her mother, who the young girl claims is bipolar.

Her father reached out to her on Facebook when she was in high school, and after the two met up she went to go stay with him for a week.

They had sex that week, her first time, and were soon dating.

'There’s a reason I lost my virginity to him because I’d never felt comfortable with any other man. It was insanely sensual,' she says.

'It lasted for about an hour and there was a lot of foreplay. We both had orgasms. We are so similar, so it’s so easy to sexually please each other. For example, we both love neck-biting. I’ve never been in a more passionate, loving, fulfilling situation.'

The two are not even hiding their situation, with many around them aware of what is going on between them.

'Everyone on my mom’s side of the family sees us as father and daughter,' she explains.

'Those who know that he’s my dad, and that we are engaged, include my father’s parents (they can see we are happy together and they can’t wait for us to have babies they treat us just like any other couple), the woman we live with, and my best friend.'

The wedding has already been planned, and she will be telling her mother - after the two make the moved to New Jersey.

'We plan to move to New Jersey where we can be safe under the law, since adult incest isn’t illegal there, and once I’m there I’ll tell everyone,' she says.

'I’ll call my mom and let her know that we are in love and we are having children. If she wants to see her grandkids we’ll send her money and she can drive to see us.'

And while many people, and science, may argue that having a child with a family member can lead to genetic problems, she scoffs at this notion.

'Everybody thinks that kids born in incestuous relationships will definitely have genetic problems, but that’s not true,' she explains.

'That happens when there’s years of inbreeding, like with the royal family. Incest has been around as long as humans have.'

That being said, she says her children will never learn how mommy and daddy first met.

ONE boy in the Bradford district could have been groomed or abused by as many as 33 different men, police have revealed.

The shocking case was discussed by police and councillors at a meeting which looked at whether enough is being done to combat child sexual exploitation, in the wake of wide-scale abuse uncovered in Rotherham.

Superintendent Vince Firth, of Bradford District Police, said the case also belied two common misconceptions about the crime as it involved a male victim and white suspects.

He told the Council's executive yesterday: "Sometimes we miss the fact that this happens to boys as well as girls.

"In relation to that boy, there were 33 suspects. It was an online grooming case."

He said police had so far managed to identify 30 of the suspects, of which 14 had been convicted and four were awaiting trial.

With 11 men, police had decided to take no further action and an investigation into one suspect was ongoing, the meeting heard.

Supt Firth said all the suspects were white Europeans, which he mentioned "just to deal with some of the stereotypes around child sexual exploitation".

Supt Firth said another key area for investigators was revisiting historical abuse cases, to try to bring perpetrators to justice and get counselling or support for the victims.

He said: "We may have missed some of the signs that our children in the past were being subjected to this very terrible crime, because it is a very complex crime.

"Children don't think of themselves as victims, as they think they're in a relationship with someone, and it's only until later life when they are adults that they see they were being exploited and abused."

Council leader David Green urged anyone who had been a victim of abuse as a child to come forward and talk to the authorities, even if they had reported it before and their claims had been dismissed.

"Whatever their experience eight, ten years ago, it will be different now. You will be believed. It will be investigated," said Cllr Green.

And Councillor Ralph Berry, executive member for children's services, warned that there would be some "awful" cases coming to court shortly.

He said: "I want to remind people that success in this business is getting these people to court and getting them to prison."

Cllr Berry said he thought the efforts to tackle child sexual exploitation were working well, but sounded a note of caution.

He said: "I think we have made a step-change here, but I don't know what's around the corner."

Former pupil at school which is at centre of child abuse probe claims he was drugged and assaulted by a Coalition minister when he was just 14

2014

‘A former pupil at a school being investigated by police over historic child abuse allegations has claimed he was drugged and abused by a minister serving in the Coalition government when he was just 14-years-old.

The man, who has not been named, is said to have told police officers that the politician had given him a pill wrapped in paper, which had made him feel ill, before he woke up in bed naked.

However, he claims that police were reluctant to investigate further and did not question the minister because of his role in Government.’

Former glam rock star Gary Glitter sexually abused a girl of 13 in a Birmingham hotel room, a court heard.

And Glitter had previously attacked the “young fan” when she was just 12, it was alleged.

John Price QC, prosecuting, told Southwark Crown Court that Glitter plied the girl with Champagne before inviting her and her mother back to his Holiday Inn hotel suite in Leicester following a concert in the city in 1977.

Mr Price told jurors: “It was there, in his hotel bedroom, her mother having been taken elsewhere by someone else, that she says he subjected her to a prolonged episode of sexual abuse involving a full range of sexual activity.”

The court heard a second girl only avoided being raped by Glitter because she fell into a protective “cocoon” of sheets and blankets when he crept into her bed in the mid-1970s.

The woman, who was aged under ten at the time and cannot be identified for legal reasons, claims that after the attack Glitter fell asleep.

It is alleged that the day after the attack, Glitter acted as if nothing had happened and gave the girl chocolate.

The alleged victim confided in her mother and friends but did not go to the police until after Glitter admitted child pornography charges in 1999, the court heard.

Mr Price said: “It encouraged her (the alleged victim) to report to the police, for the first time, what she says he had done to her.

“It seemed to her that recent events offered a better chance that she might be believed when accusing so famous and popular a man of so dreadful a crime.”

Glitter’s alleged third victim was also attacked backstage after one of his performances in another club in Watford, Hertfordshire.

Glitter found fame in the 1970s as part of the glam rock scene, scoring number one hits with I’m The Leader Of The Gang (I Am), I Love You Love Me Love and Always Yours.

Dressed in a navy suit jacket, grey and dark blue striped jumper and wearing a cream and black patterned scarf, the singer stared straight ahead, occasionally shaking his head as the case against him was opened.

The youngster only avoided being raped because she fell into a protective “cocoon” of sheets and blankets, before fleeing when the drunken pop star fell asleep, jurors were told.

John Price QC, opening the case for the prosecution at Southwark Crown Court, said that Glitter - real name Paul Gadd - had tried to force himself on the girl in the mid-1970s.

He added: “She only managed to prevent him from succeeding by moving away from him in the bed until she had moved so far, they she remembers she fell into the ‘envelope’ or ‘cocoon’ formed at the edge of the bed by the fact that the covers and blankets had been tucked beneath the mattress.”

The woman, who was aged under 10 at the time and cannot be identified for legal reasons, claims that after the attack Glitter fell asleep.

She then ran into a bathroom to try and clean herself, the court heard.

It is alleged that the day after the attack, Glitter acted as if nothing had happened and gave the girl chocolate.

Mr Price said: “The next day Mr Gadd behaved entirely as normal. Nothing was said (to her) about what had happened.”

Dressed in a navy suit jacket, grey and dark blue striped jumper and wearing a cream and black patterned scarf, the aurally impaired singer followed proceedings with the help of lipspeakers.

Although the alleged victim confided in her mother and friends, it was 20 years before she went to police with her claims, after seeing that Glitter had admitted child pornography charges in 1999, the court heard.

The horrific incident happened last autumn, but police say the victim was left so traumatised he has only just felt able to report the attack.

The 14-year-old boy was walking his dog in the Park Bridge area at around 3pm on Sunday, November 2, close to the heritage centre and the tea rooms.

He said he let his dog off the lead and felt someone put their hand around his mouth from behind.

His attacker then restrained him by putting his arm behind his back. The boy tried to fend him off but the offender grabbed hold of him and raped him, before walking off.

The attacker is described as white, aged between 30 and 40, around 5ft 8in tall, with pale skin, no facial hair, small legs and a big torso.

He had a ‘stubby’ build and short black, spiked hair on top with blonde short back and sides.

He was wearing a silver watch on his right wrist.

Det Insp Richard Ennis, said: “This was a terrifying attack on a teenage boy who has been left traumatised by the events. He felt he could not report the attack until now and we have specially trained officers providing any support they can.

“I’d like to reassure both him and the community that we have a team of experienced detectives working on the case and we are determined to catch the man responsible.

"I would those who regularly use the area to cast their mind back to that day. Did you see anyone fitting the description near to the heritage centre or were you approached by someone similar? If you did, please call us immediately.

“We have increased patrols in the area and I would ask those who feel concerned by what has happened to speak to their local officer. As part of our inquiries, we will be asking those who run, walk and cycle in the area for any information they may have.

“Incidents like this quite rightly cause concern in the community, but I want to reassure everyone that we are treating this extremely seriously and now want to hear from anyone who may have heard or saw anything.”

Mother, 20, 'told boyfriend she has been having sex with her dogs since she was 13 and often fantasizes about incest'

2012

A 20-year-old mother was arrested after she confessed to her boyfriend she enjoyed - and had been engaging in - sex with her dogs since she was 13-years-old and often fantasized about incest.

Brittany Angelique Sonnier, 20, is accused of committing 'vaginal and oral sex with two canines' in Lake Havasu City, Arizona, and has been charged with two counts of crimes against nature.She had originally been charged with bestiality.

The police were alerted to the alleged animal sex by Sonnier's boyfriend, who has not been named.He said he was worried about her 11-month-old son, feared she may be addicted to sex and need help and believed she turned to animal sex at 13 because she could not get a partner at that age.

According to the police report, the man had been in a six-month relationship with Sonnier, who he thought was a 'nice, sweet and innocent girl', and thought everything was going really well.

During the summer, problems started to arise and their sex life started to suffer, he said. It was during this time she came home from work one day and told him they needed to 'talk'.'They sat down and Brittany used his phone to look some things up,' the police report states. 'He expected Brittany to ask if they could have a threesome or if he wanted to be a swinging couple. He would have been fine with either of those things - he is very open.

'Instead, Brittany started to show him pictures of people having sex with animals. She told him that she was interested and into having sex with dogs. She went on to tell him that she has been having sex with their family dogs since she was 13 years old.'He told police that she claimed to have both 'vaginal and oral sex' with the dogs. He did not know what type but called them 'medium sized' and said one was 13-years-old and the other just a couple of years old.

Speaking about her interest in incest, she showed him images on her phone of family cartoon characters having sex.

The ex-boyfriend told police he was 'disturbed and freaked out' and said he told Sonnier 'she was disgusting.' The two broke up shortly after, according to the Huffington Post.

Before calling police, he thought he would broach it with the girl's father who revealed he knew about the dog sex and said he was trying to gain custody of her 11-month-old son because he felt his daughter was not a good parent.

The boyfriend also revealed the 20-year-old may be pregnant with his child as she had stopped taking her birth control pills and had displayed signs of being pregnant, though she refused to take the test.

He also believes she intends to become a prostitute because 'in the past she told him she is good at sex and enjoys doing it and feels like she should get paid for it'.

Victim, now in her 50s, repressed memories until 2011 during counselling

Mrs Hickman given 17 years for indecent assault, aiding and abetting rape

Her husband sentenced to 17 years in prison for raping girl in the 1970s

A couple who used 'black magic' to convince an 11-year-old girl to take part in sex sessions where they sucked her blood have been jailed for 34 years.

Carolee Hickman, 64, from St Athan, South Wales, told the schoolgirl that she was part of a powerful witches' coven before forcing her to have sex with her husband Albert, 65.

The victim had repressed memories of the abuse, which took place between 1972 and 1975, until they came back during counselling for bereavement and depression in 2011.

She told Cardiff Crown Court last month that Mrs Hickman had a special 'bejewelled knife', which she used to cut the young girl's thumb before sucking her blood.

The court heard the couple invited the teenage girl into their house where they discussed black magic and did tarot card readings with her.

Mrs Hickman would threaten to kill her mother, who was suffering from cancer at the time, with a curse.

The Hickman's then assaulted the girl every week for almost a year, and together planned to rape the young victim.

Mrs Hickman pinned her arms above her head and took 'delight in the terrible, terrible rape' carried out by her husband.

The victim, who cannot be identified, said the horror of what happened to her while at school had been buried for 40 years - before her memories resurfaced.

Now in her 50s, she said in an impact statement: '42-years-ago a little girl met two evil people who took advantage of her.

'My life has been destroyed at their hands.'

The woman said she went to the Hickman's, who now live in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, house aged 11 while skipping school with friends.

The couple allegedly gave the girl and her friends 'pagan crosses' to wear before plying them with cigarettes and alcohol.

She told a trial: 'Carolee said she was a witch and would come and get me and would make my mother ill - she even said she could kill my mother if she wanted to.

'She had a knife with a jewelled handle kept in a wooden box with carvings on the top. She cut my hand and sucked the blood out of it.

'There were tarot cards she used to tell our fortunes and she even had a black cape.'

------------------------------------------------Jailed: Pensioner and son who carried out string of sex attacks on young girls

Joseph and John O'Neill carried out the attacks on children as young as five during a campaign of terror which spanned several decades

2015

A pensioner and his son have been jailed after a campaign of sex abuse against young girls which spanned several decades.

Joseph O’Neill, 82, and John O’Neill, 55, carried out sex attacks on a number of girls as young as five.

Joseph’s crimes date back as far back as the mid-1950s with John being convicted of offences from the mid 70s and late 80s. They took place both in Eccles, Salford and London. The pair denied the offences forcing their victims to have take the stand and relive the ordeal during the trial. However they were found guilty by a jury and are now beginning long prison sentences.

John O'Neill, of Trident Road, Barton, was convicted of six rapes, nine indecent assaults and three acts of indecency against a child. He was jailed for 18 years by a judge at Minshull Street Crown Court. While dad Joseph O'Neill, of Cromwell Road, Eccles, was found guilty of six counts of indecency with a child and eight counts of indecent assault. He was sentenced to six years behind bars.

Officers have now praised the bravery of the victims and have urged others who may have gone through similar experiences to come forward and report them. Detective Constable Audra Corlett from GMP’s Child Abuse Investigation Team, based in Salford, said: “I am pleased with the outcome and with the sentence handed down.

“The sentence reflects the seriousness of the abuse endured by the victims over a prolonged period of time. I want to take this opportunity to recognise the bravery of these women. Both John and Joseph O’Neill pleaded not guilty and forced their victims to stand trial and relive their experiences all over again. This case proves that we will take all reports of abuse seriously, no matter when it took place, and we will thoroughly investigate the claims of victims. It also proves to those committing the crimes that we will leave no stone unturned and justice will eventually catch up with you.”

Nathan Green shared vile images of young children being abused online

His online profile said: 'Young incest fun. Have child on the way. Will share'

Police found more than 300 pedophilia images on 25-year-old's computer

He has now been spared jail despite a judge calling his crimes 'revolting' - White privilege

2015

A pedophile who offered to 'share' his baby with other perverts has been spared jail today despite distributing vile images online of young children being abused.

Nathan Green, 25, of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, set up an online account under the name 'Crazer49' and boasted in his profile information: 'Young incest fun. Have child on the way. Will share.'

Police raided his home and workplace after receiving intelligence of him sharing pedophilia images and videos online, and found him to be in possession of hundreds of graphic images which showed children as young as 12 being abused.

Green, formerly of Cirencester, Gloucestershire, has now been spared jail after being handed a suspended prison sentence despite being told by the judge his crimes were 'revolting'. Judge Michael Harington sentenced him to a two year jail-term, suspended for 18 months, after he admitted distributing and possessing illegal images of children at the worst level.

Gloucester Crown Court heard how he was arrested by police in March, while his partner was expecting their child. The baby was later taken into foster care at birth as a result of the horrific comments Green made to other paedophiles online.

Prosecutor James Bromige said that Green asked about, and was asked for, images of very young children in online chatlogs with other paedophiles.

He asked one user: 'Do you like child (sic)?' and another 'Are you into young children?'

Mr Bromige said police arrested Green at his place of work on March 6 after finding him in possession of 41 images and two videos at the worst 'category A' level. Officers also discovered his computer harddrive had 62 images and two videos at 'category B level' and 202 stills and two videos deemed to be in 'category C'.

One of the videos showed a girl aged between 12 and 14 being abused, while another showed a naked girl aged between 18 months and three years.

Green, who was working in a shop in the Duke of Gloucester Army Barracks in South Cerney, near Cirencester, at the time of his offending, was interviewed twice by police but declined to comment.

Mr Bromige told the court: 'The defendant has made no offer to assist the police in any further enquiries to find any of the children involved, where the images came from and the identities of the other users. 'He is of previous good character.'

British soldier who raped a six-year-old girl in her own bed after breaking into her home in Austria while drunk is jailed for nine years

Craig Stormey was on a course with his unit when he carried out the attack

The 30-year-old entered an unlocked home and raped a six-year-old girl

A judge said it was impossible to find a punishment for the heinous crime

Stormey described having a 'few drinks' with friends at the pub beforehand

But he could not remember leaving the bar or why he entered the home

The soldier was today jailed for nine years at a court in Innsbruck, Austria

2015

A British soldier has been jailed for nine years for drunkenly raping a six-year-old girl in her bedroom while stationed on an adventure course with his unit.

Craig Stormey, 30, was on an alpine skiing course with the 7th Parachute Regiment Royal Horse Artillery in the Stubai Valley, Austria, when the horrific assault took place.

Today Judge Norbert Hofer said it was 'impossible' to find an appropriate punishment given the severity of the attack and ranked it among the 'worst kind of abuse of a child's physical well-being'.

The court at Innsbruck, in the province of Tyrol, heard that the attack took place in November 2014 when the Afghanistan veteran drunkenly entered an unlocked house, stripped off and started to perform sexual acts on the sleeping child.

The girl's father told the court: 'I was lying in my bed and saw a figure holding a child in his arms. I was half asleep and first thought it was my wife but then I realised she was lying next to me. Then I saw the naked stranger in another room with my daughter. I completely flipped and hit him several times in the face.'

During the fight, his wife and their daughter fled the house as he called the police. He added: 'Our daughter has managed to cope with the incident relatively well. But she has a very good memory.'

The defendant, who was in Tyrol on an 'Adventure Camp' with his unit, said that he had 'quite a few' drinks with his friends but could not remember why he left the pub they were drinking in or why he entered the house.

He said: 'There is no explanation for what I did, and there is also no excuse. All I can remember is fighting inside a house with a man, and a woman who held a child in her arms.'

He told the court he had suffered from PTSD having fought in war zones and had seen severe sexual assaults among soldiers on the battlefield. He also apologised to the girl and her parents.

Police arrested the accused in the house and since then he had been in detention in Innsbruck prison while awaiting trial.

Medical investigators examined the little girl and backed her claims of the events. Judge Norbert Hofer said that the defendant 'had made sexual actions that can hardly be topped.'

Psychiatrist Reinhard Haller said that Mr Stormy had signs of a post-traumatic stress disorder from tours in Afghanistan but certified him as legally sane.

Dr Haller had previously worked on the case of Natascha Kampusch, the Austrian woman who was kidnapped at the age of ten and held captive for eights before escaping.

Laszlo Szabo, Mr Stormey's lawyer, said: 'The combination of alcohol and his trauma played a major role. In spite of this, he had shown no such inclinations for all his life and therefore his actions remain inexplicable.'

Among 22 cases where cops or staff accused of abusing their position of authority to prey on the public

2015

Three West Midlands Police officers abused their position of authority by sexually exploiting underage children in the last two years.

The predators in uniform were sacked or resigned after being convicted at court for targeting a 15-year-old and two 14-year-olds.

Meanwhile, other officers from the force have been dismissed or disciplined for a range of offences or conduct relating to sexual exploitation of members of the public.

Yet one cop was allowed to simply resign after being accused of having a sexual relationship with a 21-year-old suspect who was on bail. Another faced only ‘management action’ after being accused of flirting with a domestic violence victim.

West Midlands Police has also confirmed there are currently eight live investigations into claims officers and/or staff may have abused their positions of authority by sexual exploitation.

The shocking details were revealed after a Freedom of Information request by the Mail to the force.

We had asked for details of all cases of abuse of position of authority by sexual exploitation for 2012 to 2014.

After initially insisting it could not provide the information, the force eventually released data which showed 13 police officers and one civilian staff member had been accused of abuse of authority through sexual exploitation during that period. All were white.

The force refused to release details of the eight other live cases.

The most serious cases from 2012 saw the three police officers charged and convicted at court after targeting underage children.

One resigned after inappropriate sexual contact by text with a 15-year-old, while a second was said to have ‘retired/resigned’ after inciting a child under 16 to engage in sexual activity. The latter had been facing a discreditable conduct investigation over the alleged abuse of the 14-year-old victim.

The third officer was dismissed after “sexually assaulting a minor over a sustained period’’, who was also just 14-years-old.

The Freedom of Information response also detailed other cases of abuse of power by sexual exploitation by West Midlands Police officers and staff.

One officer facing a discreditable conduct complaint in 2012 was alleged to have had a sexual relationship with a 21-year-old who was on bail. The cop resigned, bringing the investigation to a close.

The same year an officer was dismissed after entering into a relationship with a ‘vulnerable’ member of the public, age unknown, while another cop was sacked after being accused of a sexual assault in the workplace.

Also in 2012, another officer faced management action - advice about their conduct, the lowest form of disciplinary sanction - after being accused of making sexual suggestions to a member of the public, aged 30.

In 2013, the force sacked an officer who had been accused of breaching ‘honesty and integrity’ rules after he was alleged to have ‘‘lied to his supervisors to leave work early to have sex with a vulnerable female’’, who was aged 30.

The same year management action was taken against one officer after text messages showed he may have entered into an ‘‘inappropriate’’ relationship with a 27-year-old victim.

The force also took management action against another officer in 2014, who was accused of behaving inappropriately by flirting with a 34-year-old domestic violence victim.

Of the four remaining cases, the force ruled there was no case to answer against an officer accused of sexually discriminatory behaviour, or that of a staff member accused of sexually harassing a member of the public. A complaint was not upheld against an officer accused of acting inappropriately towards a complainant and allegations against another officer that they had an inappropriate sexual relationship with a member of the public was subject of a ‘disapplication’ - stopped by the force before an investigation began.

Last week it was revealed a report prepared by the former Serious Organised Crime Agency for the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) had warned the number of police officers exploiting crime victims and witnesses for sex was increasing.

The nationwide investigation, compiled in 2013 and based on three years of intelligence, said officers abusing their positions for ‘sexual gratification’ was ‘a major concern’.

The findings formed part of a new report by Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) which showed that of 4,611 investigations nationally into alleged abuse of power, 2,891 did not lead to a prosecution or internal disciplinary action.

And in the 12 months to March 31 in 2014, a total of 406 officers and police staff were investigated for sexual misconduct, a four per cent rise on the previous year. One in six were allowed to retire or resign and around 40 per cent faced no further action.(white privilege!)

The report added that the 43 police forces in England and Wales had done much to tackle corruption, but more proactive measures were needed to improve internal reporting systems, as half of all officers did not believe they were confidential enough.

HMIC inspector Mike Cunningham said he wanted to see “a more proactive approach by police leaders to identify officers likely to conduct themselves in this way and put preventative measures in their way. They have to be more vigilant. It is not decreasing and remains a significant problem.

“Police officers were quick to tell us that they see corrupt colleagues as a betrayal of the vast majority who are honourable, decent and hard-working.”

Jacqui Cheer of the Association of Chief Police Officers stressed corruption was “neither endemic nor widespread” and added: “However, the actions of a few corrupt officers can corrode the reputation of the vast majority who work hard every day to protect the public.

“We will continue to improve our approach so that those who are not fit to be in the police are held to account and removed.”

In 2012 the Independent Police Complaints Commission and Acpo published a report which said forces should make the prevention, detection and investigation of officers abusing their powers for sexual exploitation a priority.

Their joint report followed the case of Northumbria police constable Stephen Mitchell, 43, who was jailed for life in January 2011 for carrying out sex attacks on vulnerable women, including prostitutes while on duty.

Other high-profile cases include South Wales Police family liaison officer Detective Constable Jeffrey Davies, who was jailed for three years in 2013 for sexually assaulting victims of domestic abuse who he was supposed to be looking after.

West Midlands Police and Birmingham City Council are putting extra resources into tackling child sexual exploitation, after being criticised for failing vulnerable youngsters, including some thought to have fallen victim to on-street grooming gangs.

Yet the force previously controversially refused to release pictures of ten Birmingham men named in court as having sexually exploiting a 17-year-old girl. Court injunctions have now banned the men, all Asian, from approaching young girls.

High Court judge Mr Justice Keehan said police submissions that their safety would be at risk if their pictures were released “made no sense at all” – with the evidence provided “at best speculative.”

WARWICKSHIRE POLICE

Last year the force sacked a police staff member for discreditable conduct relating to sexual exploitation of a 35-year-old member of the public. The force did not disclose the victim’s age. In 2013 the force investigated an officer and a civilian employee, both over allegations of sexual misconduct involving members of the public. One of the cases was dealt with by an intervention meeting by the anti-corruption unit, the other was filed with ‘no findings of misconduct’.

STAFFORDSHIRE POLICE

Four officers and staff were investigated for abuse of authority by sexual exploitation in 2012 and 2013. Figures were not disclosed for 2014. In 2012 one officer was investigated for discreditable conduct involving a member of the public whose age was not recorded. Investigations found there was a ‘case to answer’; the officer resigned. The following year two officers and one civilian member of staff were investigated for discreditable conduct relating to abuse of authority by sexual exploitation. A 55-year-old police officer was found to have a case to answer. He too was said to have retired/resigned. The force was unable to provide an age for the victim. A second police officer was found to have no case to answer over allegations they sexually exploited three women, two aged 35 and another aged 44. A civilian staff member was also exonerated over allegations of discreditable conduct involving a member of the public, whose age was not recorded by the force.

WEST MERCIA

Six West Mercia Police officers and staff were investigated for abuse of authority by sexual exploitation in 2012 and two in 2013. The force refused to disclose the number for 2014.Among those investigated in 2012 was an officer who was subsequently dismissed for ‘discreditable conduct/other sexual conduct’ involving three members of the public aged 28, 40 and 42.In the same year the force filed as ‘intelligence only’ an allegation of discreditable conduct against a civilian member of staff. The age of the victim was not recorded. In 2013 an officer was sacked and subjected to criminal proceedings over allegations of sexual misconduct involving two members of the public, aged 43 and 37.

Said he'd help with religious education exams but assaulted her six times

Offences took place in Stubbington, Hampshire, between 1975 and 1976

2015

Palmer, who was in the Royal Navy, was given the title of Honorary Chaplain to the Queen in 2008 and retired from the post a year later.

An Honorary Chaplain to the Queen is a member of the clergy and is appointed to minister to the monarch of the United Kingdom.

The court heard Palmer, who had denied the victim had ever been to his home, would wait for his wife to leave the house and take their two young children to school before he would assault the young girl.

The victim wrote a statement, which was read out to the court by prosecutor, Tammy Mears.

It said: ‘What happened to me all those years ago has affected me greatly. What he did to me caused me to withdraw from the church.

‘I found it hard to trust anyone from the church and have never been able to return to church.

‘You think of people involved in the church as being caring and trustworthy, but this was not my experience.

‘I feel very sad that despite my strong beliefs, I was unable to practice my beliefs.

‘Stephen Palmer was a man of the church and someone people looked up to and trusted.

‘I couldn’t cope with what had happened. I have tried to commit suicide.

‘I have suffered from on-going nightmares over the years.’

A former chaplain to the Queen was yesterday jailed for 39 months after sexually assaulting a young churchgoer.
Canon Dr Stephen Palmer, 68, had promised to help the 17-year-old girl with her religious education exams but assaulted her six times in his home.

He touched her as she sat on a ‘bench or pew’ at his home after his wife took his two young children to school.

Portsmouth Crown Court heard the offences took place in Stubbington, Hampshire, between 1975 and 1976 and left his victim, now 57, suicidal and suffering ‘on-going nightmares’.

Sentencing him to 39 months, Recorder Nigel Lickley QC said of his victim: ‘She (the victim) came forward recently because she was encouraged by other people were coming forward in other cases and people were believing them.

‘The offending took place when your wife was away and there was a degree of planning. The victim withdrew from the church and her church life was very important to her, but the trust she had was destroyed by you.

‘This case demonstrates a breach of trust. She came to you for tuition and she was abused. Young people looked to you for guidance and support.’

He was convicted of six counts of indecent assault following a five-day trial at Portsmouth Crown Court in May. And yesterday Palmer, of Fintry, Aberdeen, was jailed for three years and three months.

He became an ordained deacon in 1974 and an ordained priest a year later in 1975. Palmer was also a vicar in Portsdown, Hants, from 1996 to 2002 and Newport on the Isle of Wight from 2002 to 2009.

Pope Francis has been quoted as saying that reliable data indicates that "about 2%" of clergy in the Catholic Church are pedophiles.

The Pope said that abuse of children was like "leprosy" infecting the Church, according to the Italian La Repubblica newspaper.

He vowed to "confront it with the severity it demands".

But a Vatican spokesman said the quotes in the newspaper did not correspond to Pope Francis's exact words.

The BBC's David Willey in Rome says there is often a studied ambiguity in Pope Francis' off-the-cuff statements.

He wants to show a more compassionate attitude towards Church teaching than his predecessors, but this can sometimes cause consternation among his media advisers, our correspondent adds.

In the interview, Pope Francis was quoted as saying that the 2% estimate came from advisers. It would represent around 8,000 priests out of a global number of about 414,000.

While the incidence of pedophilia as a psychiatric disorder in the general population is not accurately known, some estimates have put it at less than five percent.

"Among the 2% who are pedophiles are priests, bishops and cardinals. Others, more numerous, know but keep quiet. They punish without giving the reason," Pope Francis was quoted as saying.

"I find this state of affairs intolerable," he went on.

Above the interview La Repubblica ran the headline: "Pope says: Like Jesus, I shall use a stick against pedophile priests."

Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi denied that Pope Francis had said that there were cardinals who were pedophiles.

Last year Pope Francis strengthened the Vatican's laws against child abuse and earlier this month begged forgiveness from the victims of sexual abuse by priests, at his first meeting with victims since his election.

Many survivors of abuse by priests are angry at what they see as the Vatican's failure to punish senior officials who have been accused of covering up scandals.

Asked in the same La Repubblica interview about the celibacy rule for priests, Pope Francis recalled that it was adopted 900 years after the death of Jesus Christ and pointed out that the Eastern Catholic Church allows its priests to marry.

"The problem certainly exists but it is not on a large scale. It will need time but the solutions are there and I will find them."

The half-brother of a senior Conservative MP has been jailed for 13 years for carrying out hundreds of sexual assaults on young boys.

The court heard Napier’s offending was prolific, with more than 100 indecent assaults committed against 21 pupils aged between eight and 13 over a period of around two and a half years.

Peter Clement, prosecuting, said: “The offences are characterised by a campaign of sexual abuse involving significant planning, grooming and abuse of many pupils.

“It was sexual abuse of particularly vulnerable victims. The defendant ensured each child’s compliance and silence through grooming to the extent that he abused several of the victims many, many times.

“The defendant abused the high degree of trust placed in him by his colleagues, the children’s parents and the children themselves and exploited his role for his own sexual gratification.”The court heard Napier would give his victims treats including fizzy drinks and chocolate, often abusing them in a carpentry workshop, which, Clement said, “became something of his den”.Napier told one victim “don’t be a baby” while another suffered “profound effects” from being repeatedly abused and attempted suicide later in life, the court heard.Some pupils were targeted as often as once a week, with one boy alone said to have been abused more than 100 times.

Napier abused some victims in the presence of other children, the court heard.

On two occasions he made a boy perform oral sex on him, telling the child: “That’s what grown-ups do.”

The new witness has told police a FOURTH youngster - this time a girl of 15 - may have been murdered by a VIP abuse ring which included politicians and a TV comedy star

2015

A victim of a VIP pedophile ring believes a girl of 15 was killed at a vile orgy.

The new witness has told police he watched the teenager being taken into a *terrifying “medical room” by a senior Tory MP – and never saw her again.

The sickening events are said to have taken place at London’s notorious Dolphin Square flats in the 1990s, the Sunday People can reveal.

He fears the teenager may have been killed by a brutal sadist acting out his horrific fantasies.

It would make her the fourth reported murder victim of a Westminster-based pervert ring, some of them household names.

The witness told the investigative website Exaro that he was himself abused while in his teens by prominent politicians and a famous comedian at the now notorious Dolphin Square complex in central London.

We are calling the man Darren, *although that is not his real name *because he lives in hiding, fearing for his own life. He is the third alleged victim of the gang to come forward.

Darren told us: “I would never have gone to those parties willingly. It was fear that led me to Dolphin Square.”

Recalling the night in 1993 he *believes a girl died, he said: “I *witnessed a senior Tory politician go into the medical room with a girl who I know was 15.

“This was a bedroom containing a hospital-type bed with shackles, gimp masks and a tiled, washable floor.

“She was 15 and in care. I didn’t know her name but had been bumping into her for years at pedophile parties. I had been trafficked for sex since I was a young boy, initially by my father.

“She had a smashing smile and wore braces on her teeth.

“I never saw her leave that room, in fact I never saw her again. I fear she may have been killed.”

Darren has identified the exact apartment in the luxury Dolphin Square complex where he claims abuse parties were held while he was a teenager.

He says he was taken to up to 20 orgies, which were *attended by around 30 VIPs, and *has described ordeals – *including beatings with a cane – to Scotland Yard detectives investigating a string of historic sex abuse claims.

Cabinet Office confirmed papers exist which relate to men, who are all dead

Paper also reveals concerns of abuse at Kincora children's home in Belfast

2015

Shockingly, Sir Antony concluded: ‘The risks of political embarrassment to the Government is rather greater than the security danger.’

The MP in question was not named in the explosive document, which was among several papers released last night by the Home Office after a request by Sky News.

The other files related to a series of Westminster figures from the 1970s and 1980s – Margaret Thatcher’s former parliamentary secretary Sir Peter Morrison, former Home Secretary Leon Brittan, former diplomat Sir Peter Hayman and former minister Sir William van Straubenzee. All are now dead.

Anonymous to Expose Child Sex Abuses Among The UK’s Royal Family And Other Elite Groups

2015

Anonymous members in the United Kingdom (UK) have said that they will soon embark on a mission known as Operation Death Eaters to expose child sex ring activities perpetrated by members of the UK’s Royal Family.

Operation Death Eaters is also said to include top celebrities and other well respected key figures, occupying sensitive positions in the UK’s society. Some perpetrators of these crimes are said to be in the current UK’s coalition government.

Anonymous members were quoted by The True Activist as saying that “ If the system won’t bring the perpetrators to justice, we can always rely on Anonymous’’.

According to the True Activist, Anonymous members have already met in cities in the UK to plan how they are going to carry out the operation without the knowledge of the so called secret service.

Child sex allegations have a long history in the UK’s society. Investigators have been struggling to unravel the truth since it emerged that popular children’s entertainer, Jimmy Savile was actually a bizarre predatory pedophile (a mental health problem where an adult 16 years of age or older is mainly or only sexually attracted to children who have not begun puberty).

The Queen has granted herself (and her family) a new right of absolute secrecy unsurpassed in British history, in an attempt to cover up paedophile claims and arrest warrants.

Royal Family granted new right of Absolute secrecy.

Looking visibly shaken and exhausted after the relentless attack on her crown, the Queen has taken this last ditched attempt to silence the paedophile rumours in connection with the Yewtree police investigation and her Jimmy Savile connections.

The Queen is taking the only option she has open, to pull down the shutters and hope for the best.

By granting herself absolute protection from public scrutiny, (in the most controversial move of her Monarchy), she hopes to draw a veil of secrecy over:

The paedophile rumours.

The guilty verdict of Crimes Against Humanity by the International Tribunal into Crimes of Church and State, indicting the Queen and her husband in the 1964 disappearance of ten indigenous children of the Canadian Kamloops Indian Residential School, who were last seen heading for a picnic with Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip, never to be seen again. To this day, grieving parents await their return.

The arrest warrant ordered by ex-Royal Military Policeman Matt Taylor, against her and David Cameron for sex crimes against children.

------------------------------------------------------------
MATT TAYLOR ORDERS THE IMMEDIATE ARREST OF DAVID CAMERON & THE QUEEN.

2015

Matt Taylor the next Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex in 2016, has issued an extraordinary order for the immediate arrest of David Cameron and The Queen on charges of High Treason and sexual crimes against children.

Following the explosive interview between Louise Collins from the UK Column News and Bill Maloney from Pie’n’Mash films, in which the Queen was named as part of an international paedophile ring, Matt Taylor from Brighton has declared to hold the higher moral ground, and as an ex-Royal Military Police, the authority to order the immediate arrest of David Cameron, the Prime Minister of the UK and Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen of England and the Common Wealth.

He said, “We have enough evidence to prosecute and holding the higher moral ground over both the Prime Minister and Queen of England, I hereby order their immediate arrest for High Treason and sexual crimes against children.”

Is Satanic Ritual Abuse child exploitation rings being perpetrated by global elites in our neighbourhoods, on our children? If so, do they have the connections to effectively cover-up the child rape, torture and murder of thousands?

The Satanic Ritual Abuse international child exploitation ring was said to involve prominent leaders in the British Parliament, entertainment, political, legal and medical fields and included former Catholic Pope Joseph Ratzinger.

This was the second time the Queen had been charged with affiliation to a Satanic Ritual Abuse international child exploitation ring. On Feb. 25 2013 an international court found her and Prince Phillip guilty of taking ten aboriginal youngsters from the Canadian Kamloops Residential School on Oct.10 1964. Parents haven’t seen their children since.

Comments:
From everyday citizen to parents, to teachers, to police officers, soldiers, government officials, royalty, queen, priests, clergy and the pope himself. Who is left after that? This is the true face of the anglo UK, in addition to being war mongers.

European royals killing naked children for fun at human hunting parties

2015

This is one in a series of articles taken from eyewitness testimony before the International Common Law Court of Justice in Brussels. Five international judges are examining evidence of child rape, torture, murder and kidnapping allegedly done by global elite members of the Ninth Circle Satanic Child Sacrifice Cult network.

Regular Ninth Circle child sacrifices were said to take place in the catacombs of Catholic Cathedrals, the Vatican, on private estates and groves and government military bases in Belgium, Holland, Spain, Australia, Ireland, France, England and the US. At least 34 child mass grave sites were identified in Ireland, Spain and Canada – and refused excavation by the respective governments, Crown of England and Catholic Church.

Named as present in Ninth Circle activities were Pope Francis, former Pope Ratzinger;Anglican, United Church of Canada and Catholic Church officials including Cardinals; members of European royalty including Queen Elizabeth and Prince Phillip; officials of the Canadian, Australian, UK and US military and governments including the USA’s CIA, plus prominent government ministers, judges, politicians and businessmen from the US, Belgium, Holland, Canada, Australia, France, Ireland and the UK.

Ted Gunderson the former chief of the Los Angeles division of the FBI brought his impeccable credentials to the truth/freedom movement.

After retiring from the FBI, he gave presentations across the country alerting the public to the reality of false flag terrorism, satanic ritual abuse, and mind control.

Gunderson is best known not for just exposing evil and educating the public, but for risking his life to personally help and protect many victims.

Comments:
From child rape, to torture, to murder to sacrifices and mass graves, from catholic cathedrals to Vatican to private estates to government military bases, from Belgium, Holland, Spain, Australia, Ireland, France, England and the US, from popes to royalties to elites to ministers, judges, politicians, judges, businessmen, and intelligence agencies. This is the face of the western Christian Anglos.

The German Government is promoting sexual contact between parents and children.

If you cannot imagine this is true, you have to read the leaflet shown in Germany and EU to Legalise Paedophilia. The leaflet is a publication of a German Government Children’s Department, which is distributed by the million, free of charge.

The pamphlet advises parents to permit young children “unlimited masturbation” except where physical injury becomes apparent. It advises: “Children should learn that there is no such thing as shameful parts of the body. The body is a home, which you should be proud of.” For ages 4-6, the booklet recommends teaching children the movements of copulation.

HOW THE STATE GETS ACCESS TO CHILDREN

EU regulations are demanding the creation of national databases of all children, so that they can be better ‘looked after’ by government.Here is an article on the British child database which is secretly created from your child’s school records and from your child’s medical records. That friendly health visitor who calls at your home is required to log the details of (usually) her visit into a database, which even she maybe doesn’t realise potentially has other purposes, once the information is in the hands of others.

The EU is also setting up a bureau for the alleged 116000 children who go missing in the EU every year, all very laudable to try and find them, I would agree – except – the bureau is in fact called ‘the missing and sexually exploited children bureau’, with a remit to intervene in any situation where allegations are made by one citizen on another, so the children to be ‘found’ or apprehended don’t even need to be missing.

This gives the pedophiles the power they seek to take children away from their families, based on mere allegation. These are the same governments who are legalising and encouraging paedophilia, and who do nothing to apprehend known pedophile traffickers and purveyors of child sex.

In future, the bureaucracy with the power to take your kids away from you, is run not from some agency managed locally which might possibly be negotiable to common sense, but from the European centre of child prostitution and abduction, Brussels itself.There are now even targets set as to the number of children which must be taken away from their families, at national and regional level by child regulatory bodies.
How Are They Legalising Paedophilia?

The answer is that a very subtle change to the text of Article 21 of the Lisbon Treaty is enough.

This Article covers ‘discrimination against sexual orientations’, making it impermissible. In all Treaties prior to Lisbon,there was the same ‘non-discrimination against sexual orientation’ Article, but there was also a Protocol expressly excluding paedophilia from the list of sexual orientations.

This will enable pedophiles to claim that their sexual orientation is now to be seen as permissible.

Watch a video explaining this device, and how it makes the Lisbon Treaty into a Paedophile’s Charter. (I don’t agree with the anti-Moslem section at the end of it)

AND FINALLY – It might not only be children who are victims of unstoppable state power. The old also might find themselves under pressure from euthanasia programmes. See HERE.

People simply haven’t taken on board how life will never be the same once they have signed their lives and their childrens’ lives away to the European Union. The consequences are so shocking as regards paedophilia being a primary part of the EU’s programme that most people simply are not able to take it in, or even believe it. That, of course, is why they are getting away with it.

Another product of the BZgA is a song book aimed at children of four and slightly older which includes several songs espousing masturbation. The song-book entitled “Nose, belly and bum” includes one song with the following lyrics: “When I touch my body, I discover what I have. I have a vagina, because I am a girl. Vagina is not only for peeing. When I touch it, I feel a pleasant tingle.” Millions of these leaflets are handed out free in Germany every year, so Germans cannot plead ignorance of what their government is doing.

It gets worse..

“Fathers do not devote enough attention to the clitoris and vagina of their daughters. Their caresses too seldom pertain to these regions, while this is the only way the girls can develop a sense of pride in their sex,” reads the booklet regarding 1-3 year olds.

There seems to be something going wrong with all aspects of children and sex across the EU.

Pedophiles operate unchecked in many countries across Europe, places like Brussels and Portugal.

In the Nederlands too, there are signs that paedophilia is now an activity openly approved of by the Judiciary. A political party was formed to promote paedophilia as a natural freedom. Another group ‘No Kidding’ brought a case to have the party’s campaigning banned. The judge, however, held that a paedophile-promoting political party was good for Dutch democracy. See this article from 2006 which tells the story.

It seems that pedophiles are starting to control the political agendas in Europe (See the German Green Party below), from control of law enforcement, the agenda of sex education, and to succeed with their most earnest desire of all, that is to get hold of and use state power to get access to victims.

Israel Becoming 'Safe Haven For Pedophiles' With Laws That Allow Any Jews To Legally Return

Jewish Community Watch says 32 pedophiles moved from countries around the world to Israel over past decade

by Peter Walker - 12/1/2016

Activists fear Israel is becoming a safe haven for pedophiles thanks to the country's unique Law of Return for the world's Jewish people.

A Jewish person from anywhere across the globe can be fast-tracked for citizenship in Israel, as well as their spouse, children and grandchildren.

An 1954 amendment to the law bans "a person with a criminal past, likely to endanger public welfare" but campaigners say sex abusers are slipping through the net.

"Israel is becoming a safe haven for pedophiles due to the unique opportunity available to all Jews from anywhere in the world to immigrate there," said child abuse survivor Manny Waks, founder of child sex abuse advocacy group Kol V'Oz, speaking to The Independent.

"This provides a relatively efficient and effective way to evade justice from other countries. It also provides a sanctuary to those who have already been convicted.

"It's important to note that while there are some criminal background checks as part of the immigration process, there are multiple ways to overcome this requirement - for example, convicted Jewish pedophiles may enter and remain in Israel as tourists indefinitely."

Jewish Community Watch says that 32 pedophiles in their database have moved from countries around the world to Israel over the past decade.

It says 12 Jewish pedophiles, from across the globe, have moved to countries other than Israel.

"Education of this issue in the Haredi world is lacking. There are serious shortfalls," Mr Waks, from Melbourne, told the Times of Israel. "They bring teachers in and out of yeshivas without doing checks.

"The Israeli government needs to look at this issue to address it, because it is an injustice to the victims and a danger to Israeli children."

A text message was reportedly circulated throughout the Ramot neighborhood of Jerusalem, reporting that a Level 2 sex offender was moving to the area in November.

The convict escaped arrest by New York police to Israel via Canada in 2007 and was charged in his absence with eight counts of sexual intercourse with two 13-year-old children.

He was reportedly extradited and convicted in 2009 but released in February 2012.

"People have a right, after they serve their time, to live their life," said Jewish Community Watch Iseal operations coordinator Shana Aronson.

"But the community has a right to know who they are. They shouldn't be vilified any more than is necessary to protect the community.

"But nothing is more devastating than a repeat offender. It's infuriating. It could have been prevented."

But the methods employed by activists has caused controversy, with the Jerusalem District Court hearing, on Thursday, 17 November, of Yona Weinberg's libel lawsuit against activist Yakov Horowitz.

Mr Weinberg, from Brooklyn, New York, who moved to Israel after sex offense convictions, is accusing Mr Horowitz of slander and libel for a tweet he published last year following Mr Weinberg's move to Israel.

The Law of Return allows Jews living outside the country, other than those with "a criminal past, likely to endanger public welfare", to live in Israel

"I really genuinely understand and respect that there is great reluctance to tinker with the Law of Return," said Mr Horowitz.

"The Law of Return is a beautiful concept, it's really part of the DNA of the Jewish state. There's a feeling that if you amend it for sex offenders, what about someone who did domestic violence? Or a Ponzi scheme? Where do you draw the line?"

But he added that in his opinion "at the very least, the [sex offenders] should be supervised if you're letting them in".

Avi Mayer, spokesman for the Jewish Agency, which brings Jews into Israel, reportedly said that approval for a convicted criminal's visa depends on "the nature of the crime, when it was committed, and what has transpired in the interim".

Mr Mayer also told The Independent: "A convicted sex offender would certainly be [barred from the Law of Return] and would thus be prevented from immigrating to the country.

"In the rare event that a person ineligible to immigrate under the above provision is nevertheless granted citizenship on an irregular basis, the law enables any individual who considers him, or herself, adversely affected by such a decision to appeal it before the relevant authorities.

Donald Trump,Courtney Love, former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and uber-lawyer Alan Dershowitz may have been identified by a butler as potential "material witnesses" to pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein's crimes against young girls, according to a copy of Epstein's little black book obtained by Gawker.

An annotated copy of the address book, which also contains entries for Alec Baldwin, Ralph Fiennes, Griffin Dunne, New York Post gossip Richard Johnson, Ted Kennedy, David Koch, filmmaker Andrew Jarecki, and all manner of other people you might expect a billionaire to know, turned up in court proceedings after Epstein's former house manager Alfredo Rodriguez tried to sell it in 2009. About 50 of the entries, including those of many of Epstein's suspected victims and accomplices as well as Trump, Love, Barak, Dershowitz, and others, were circled by Rodriguez. (The existence of the book has been previously reported by the Daily Mail. Gawker is publishing it in full here for the first time; we have redacted addresses, telephone numbers, email addresses, and the last names of individuals who may have been underage victims.)

According to an FBI affidavit, Rodriguez described the address book and the information contained within it as the "Holy Grail" or "Golden Nugget" to unraveling Epstein's sprawling child-sex network. But despite having been subpoenaed for everything he had on his former boss, Rodriguez didn't share it with the FBI or Palm Beach Police Department detectives investigating Epstein. Instead, he tried to make a $50,000 score by covertly peddling the black book to one of the attorneys launching lawsuits at Epstein on behalf of his victims.

The plot backfired when the attorney reported Rodriguez to the FBI, and he was promptly charged with obstruction of justice. But not before he had, according to the FBI affidavit laying out the crime, marked up the book and an accompanying notepad with "handwritten notes" that contained "information material to the underlying investigation that would have been extremely useful in investigating and prosecuting the case, including the names and contact information of material witnesses and additional victims."

Rodriguez, who spent 18 months in prison, died in December after a long illness and never spoke out about the address book, so the precise significance of the names he circled remains fuzzy. But the FBI's case against him makes clear that Rodriguez regarded the address book as crucial to understanding Epstein's crimes; during a conversation with an undercover FBI agent posing as a potential buyer, he "discussed in detail the information contained in the book, and identified important information" to the agent.
In addition to the names above, as well as scores of apparent underage victims in Florida, New Mexico, California, Paris, and the United Kingdom listed under the rubric of "massage," the circled entries include:

· Billionaire Leslie Wexner
· Former New Mexico Governor Bruce King
· Former New Mexico Governor and Democratic presidential hopeful Bill Richardson
· Peter Soros, the nephew of George Soros
· Former Miss Sweden and socialite New York City doctor Eva Andersson Dubin

Some of the circled entries include additional notes—one address in New York City, for instance, is marked as an "apt. for models," and two names bear the marking "witness."

Asked why Rodriguez might have circled his name, Alan Dershowitz told Gawker, "I've never seen the book and I have no idea what it means. I was neither a victim nor a material witness—I never witnessed any crimes or participated in any crimes, and I can prove it."

Virginia Roberts, one of Epstein's alleged victims, has claimed in repeated court filings that Epstein instructed her to have sex with Dershowitz on several occasions, charges that Dershowitz categorically denies.

Trump, through a spokesperson, said, "Mr. Trump only knew Mr. Epstein as Mr. Trump owns the hottest and most luxurious club in Palm Beach, [redacted], and Mr. Epstein would go there on occasion."

Although Bill Clinton and Prince Andrew have been mentioned in connection with Epstein's sordid deeds, their names aren't circled in the black book. But Epstein did have 21 contact numbers and various email addresses for Clinton, as well as several contact numbers for the prince.

A Pimp Just Revealed Trump Also Raped 12-Year-Old Girl, Threat To Kill Witnesses

By Colin Taylor - on November 1, 2016

Republican nominee Donald Trump is an admitted serial sexual predator. His own recorded words confirm as much, as do the dozen or so women who have come forward to accuse him of sexual misconduct. His campaign is desperately fighting to put a lid on the growing awareness that Trump will be testifying under oath during a trial in federal court under the accusation of raping a thirteen-year-old girl and a previously undisclosed second girl, who was even younger.

At one of these parties, “Jane Doe” was forced to perform oral sex on Trump with a twelve-year old named “Maria.” At the fourth and final encounter, Tiffany Doe says “I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling the Plaintiff that she shouldn’t ever say anything if she didn’t want to disappear like the 12-year-old female Maria, and that he was capable of having her whole family killed.”

Donald Trump told New York magazine in 2002 that “I’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

Epstein’s brother, Mark, also testified that “Trump flew on Jeffrey’s private jet at least once and records indicate that Trump called Epstein twice in November of 2004.”

“according to law-enforcement officials and alleged victims, between the years 1998 and 2007—and possibly even earlier—he ran a particularly vile pyramid scheme that involved paying minors around $200 at a time to perform sexual massages nearly every day and then recruit even younger girls to do the same. (“The more you do, the more you are paid,” one said.) During these massages, girls as young as 13 told police they were instructed to get undressed. Epstein would masturbate or penetrate them, they said—with his finger, or a vibrator, or his allegedly egg-shaped penis.”

The details keep coming, and the picture they paint grows darker and more horrifying by they day. How much more evidence does America need? How many more stories need to be told before the word of one rich man is outweighed by literally dozens of contrasting accounts? Donald Trump is a sexual predator and a possible pedophile; he deserves a jail cell on Riker’s Island, not the White House.

Trump is due to appear in federal court Dec. 16 for a status conference after a judge allowed the lawsuit, which seeks $75,000 in damages, to move forward.

The alleged victim, identified in the suit as "Jane Doe," claims Trump brutally raped her in 1994, when she was 13 years old, and threatened to harm her and her family if she talked.

The suit was originally filed last year in California by a woman named Katie Johnson, but that case was thrown out May 2 because the complaint failed to properly state any specific federal civil rights violations.

The lawsuit was refiled in New York in June, but without Johnson's name, her request for $100 million and absent several explosive claims from the previous suit - including an allegation that Trump had given money to the victim and ordered her to get an abortion.

Two other women - identified as "Joan Doe" and "Tiffany Doe" - have been added to the newer suit as witnesses.

Both witnesses say they worked as "party planners" for billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, who paid them to "attract adolescent women" to events he hosted at the Wexner Mansion in New York.

Tiffany Doe says in court documents that she lured Jane Doe to a party with the promise of money and meeting contacts in the modeling industry.

She claims in the documents that she personally witnessed the girl being forced to engage in various sex acts with Trump and Epstein, who she said were aware of her age.
"I personally witnessed four sexual encounters that the Plaintiff was forced to have with Mr. Trump during this period, including the fourth of these encounters where Mr. Trump forcibly raped her despite her pleas to stop," Tiffany Doe alleges.

Tiffany Doe said she also witnessed Trump forcing Jane Doe and a 12-year-old girl identified as "Maria" to perform oral sex on him and then physically abuse both of them afterward.

The woman said her job duties required her to "personally witness and supervise encounters between the underage girls that Mr. Epstein hired and his guests," according to court documents.
Epstein, a financier who was also friends with Bill and Hillary Clinton, was convicted in 2008 of soliciting an underage girl for prostitution and served 13 months of an 18-year prison term.

Tiffany Doe said both Trump and Epstein threatened to harm Jane Doe if she ever revealed the physical and sexual abuse she endured - and she said the future GOP presidential nominee's warning was particularly ominous."

I personally witnessed Defendant Trump telling the Plaintiff that she shouldn't ever say anything if she didn't want to disappear like the 12-year-old female Maria, and that he was capable of having her whole family killed," Tiffany Doe alleged.

Tiffany Doe said after she stopped working for Epstein in 2002, he threatened to kill her and her family if she ever revealed the child rape operation he oversaw.

The woman, who started working for Epstein in 1990, said she had put herself at great risk by agreeing to back Jane Doe's claims against Trump but swore her allegations were truthful.

"I fully understand that that the life of myself and my family is now in grave danger," she said.

An FBI source has confirmed that evidence has emerged from the Clinton email investigation that a massive child trafficking and pedophile sex ring operates in Washington.

According to reports, at least 6 members of Congress and several leaders from federal agencies are implicated in the pedophile ring, which they say was run directly with the Clinton Foundation as a front.

According to an NYPD source, emails found on Anthony Weiner’s laptop detail trips made by Weiner, Bill and Hillary Clinton on convicted pedophile pal billionaire Jeffrey Epstein’s plane ‘Lolitta express‘ to a place known as “Sex Slave Island“.

An archived thread on 4chan in which an FBI insider originally hinted that the Clinton email server investigation was merely a distraction from the more sinister Clinton Foundation and its connection to pedophilia:

Are the people leading the investigation blackmailed pedophiles?

> The people under the magnifying glass do have an affinity for children.

Please before you sleep speak a little on the child prostitution ring:
"Sex rings are popular in all governments, but pedophilia is primarily in British parliament..."

Evidence has emerged that Hillary Clinton is connected to the pedophile ring recently uncovered in Norway, involving 51 people, including politicians, teachers and doctors.

Following the arrest of 20 people connected to child abuse scandal, Clinton Foundation donors in Norway have withdrawn their support for Hillary Clinton amid rumors that Hillary has connections to the pedophile ring.

Last Sunday, as reported by the Associated Press and a variety of both independent and corporate news sources, a large pedophile ring involving 51 people was busted in Norway, leading to the arrest of 20 people, three convictions and a search for the others in different parts of the country. One of the most detailed reports so far came from Turkey's Daily Sabah, reposted below:

Norwegian police said on Sunday they are investigating a grotesque pedophilia ring suspected of involvement in the abuse of at least 51 people, which includes the abuse of infants and at least one case of a suspect acknowledging abusing his own children. The latest incident is considered one of the largest child sexual abuse cases in the country's history.

Deputy Police Chief Gunnar Floystad said that in they have arrested 20 men so far, with three convictions, in western Norway. The 31 other suspects are from other regions in Norway. Those facing charges are to receive a maximum penalty of up to 15 years in prison.

Floystad told reporters Sunday that many of the suspects are highly educated, and include lawyers and politicians. Two current or former elected officials, one teacher and a lawyer are allegedly among the accused. He said he could not reveal more details pending the conclusion of the investigation, known as "Dark Room," which began in 2015. Prosecutors said the perpetrators met in the dark web, using encryption and anonymity to hide their tracks.

"We have the clear perception that like-minded individuals met with each other in the so-called dark net, where they could talk with one another and cultivate their interest in children in peace," Hilde Reikrås, the head of Operation Dark Room, said at a press conference on Sunday, the Local Norway reported.

"There are several highly educated [individuals] with high IT skills. They've used encryption and anonymity to hide their tracks," head police prosecutor Janne Ringset Heltne said at the Sunday press conference, adding that all of the perpetrators involved are allegedly men.

"The material shows the abuse of children of all ages, including infants," Reikrås said. She also gave examples of the scope of the horrific abuse.

Coincidentally (or perhaps not), on the same day this story broke, another story involving Norway was widely reported among mostly independent and alternative sites. The following example is from The Daily Caller:

Norway Donations To Clinton Foundation To Fall Nearly 90% Off Peak

By Chuck Ross

The Norwegian government's planned contribution to the Clinton Foundation next year will be nearly 90 percent off its peak, news outlets in Norway are reporting.

Norway will donate 35.9 million kroner this year - or around $5.1 million - to the Clinton Health Access Initiative, a subsidiary of the Clinton Foundation, according to the Norwegian news outlet, Hegnar.

The Scandinavian nation will slash its donations by 36 percent next year to 23 million kroner. That marks a 87 percent decline from the 2015 peak.

The drastic cut could be a signal that other longtime Clinton Foundation donors will reduce donations in the wake of Hillary Clinton's presidential loss.

Hegnar reported that Norway gave an average of 40 million kroner each year between 2007 and 2013. That jumped to 129 million kroner in 2014 and 174 million kroner - or $25 million - last year.

Norway's ministry of foreign affairs said that it has not renewed pledges it had with the Clinton Foundation which ended in 2015.

"Norway has signed several agreements which aimed to help reduce maternal and child mortality in countries with high mortality burden to ensure progress on the [Millennium Development Goals]," Guri Solberg, the communications adviser for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, told Finansavisen.

"Most of the agreements expired in 2015, in parallel with completion of the [Millennium Development Goals]. This is why the payments were particularly high in 2014 and 2015."

Of course the reasoning behind this decision could be based on Clinton's defeat and fears that the Trump administration might possibly investigate the pay-to-play scandal, but the timing coinciding with the pedophile bust is suspicious. What if, rather than being an outcome of Clinton's defeat, the recent news from Norway are late-breaking indicators of what may have caused her defeat?
It's no longer a secret that the U.S. electoral system is highly corrupt and susceptible to tampering. Both major parties are reluctant to change the status quo because both take advantage of it in varying degrees to retain a duopoly and for greater control over primary, general and local elections. The Trump victory was an anomaly because he didn't seem to have support from the Republican establishment while Clinton had the backing of the neocons and the majority of corporate interests. Clinton was primed to win, and the fact that she didn't (and is not directly challenging the results) is reasonable cause to suspect she may have been forced to stand down. The fact that Trump announced he would not be investigating Clinton gives further credence to the notion she was offered a "deal" (or ultimatum) by higher-ups.

Given what we've learned already from the Podesta emails, it's not beyond the realm of possibility that powerful elites in the U.S. had strong motivation to prevent four years of Clinton and Podesta in the spotlight. Any political figure connected to pedophilia, human trafficking or a host of other crimes can be easily controlled and manipulated through blackmail, but once the secret gets out they're no longer effective sales puppets. Meanwhile, elites in Norway could be attempting to distance themselves from the Clinton Foundation for the same reasons. More information is needed to solidify this possible connection which is why the ongoing open-source investigation by multiple internet communities is essential.

4,444 victims: extent of abuse in Catholic church in Australia revealed

37% of all private sessions royal commission held with survivors related to the Catholic church

The average age of alleged victims was 10.5 for girls and just over 11.5 for boys

In one order 40% of religious brothers are believed to have abused children

Seven per cent of Australia’s Catholic priests were accused of abusing children in the six decades since 1950, according to new data from the royal commission.

On Monday the royal commission into institutional responses to child sexual abuse released damning statistics on the scale of the crisis within the Catholic Church.

The numbers confirm the extent of sexual predation already suggested by four years of royal commission hearings involving the church, which are now entering their final weeks.

Up to 15% of priests in some dioceses were alleged perpetrators between 1950 and 2015, with abusers most prevalent in the dioceses of Sale and Sandhurst in Victoria, Port Pirie in South Australia, and Lismore and Wollongong in New South Wales. The numbers were even worse in some national Catholic orders. By far the worst was the order of the St John of God Brothers, where a staggering 40% of religious brothers are believed to have abused children.

Twenty-two per cent of Christian Brothers and 20% of Marist Brothers, both orders that run schools, were alleged perpetrators. More than one in five priests in the Benedictine community of New Norcia were alleged perpetrators, while 17.2% of clergy were accused of crimes against children in the Salesians of Don Bosco order.

In total, between 1980 and 2015, 4,444 people alleged incidents of child sexual abuse relating to 93 Catholic Church authorities. The abuse allegedly took place in more than 1,000 institutions. The average age of victims was 10.5 for girls and 11.6 for boys. The overwhelming majority of survivors were male. Almost 1,900 perpetrators were identified and another 500 remained unidentified. Thirty-two per cent were religious brothers, 30% were priests, 29% were lay people and 5% were religious sisters.

The royal commission said 37% of all private sessions it held with survivors from all institutions related to abuse in the Catholic Church.

The disturbing figures were revealed by senior counsel assisting, Gail Furness, SC. She also revealed that the Holy See had refused to hand over documents involving Australian priests accused of abuse.

“The royal commission hoped to gain an understanding of the action taken in each case,” Furness said. “The Holy See responded, on 1 July 2014, that it was ‘neither possible nor appropriate to provide the information requested’,” she said.

Furness said the responses of Catholic diocese and orders across the country were “depressingly similar”.

“Children were ignored or worse, punished. Allegations were not investigated. Priests and religious [brothers] were moved. The parishes or communities to which they were moved knew nothing of their past,” she said. “Documents were not kept or they were destroyed. Secrecy prevailed as did cover-ups.”

The church’s Truth, Justice and Healing council, set up to coordinate the church’s response to the crisis, made an opening statement following the release of the data. Chief executive Francis Sullivan struggled with emotion as he spoke, saying the data without doubt “undermines the image and credibility of the priesthood”.

“These numbers are shocking, they are tragic, they are indefensible,” Sullivan said. “And each entry in this data for the most part represents a child who suffered at the hands of someone who should have cared for and protected them.

“The data is an indictment on the priests and religious who abused these children. It also reflects on the church leaders who at times failed to take steps to deal with the abusers, failed to call them to order and failed to deal with them in accordance with the law.”

Sullivan described the abuse as a “massive failure” of the church and as a corruption of the gospel.

“As Catholics, we hang our heads in shame,” he said.

Sullivan outlined the key programs of change undertaken by the church. That included the establishment of the professional standards body responsible for auditing and reporting on the compliance of bishops and church leaders with child protection standards. It also includes revisiting abuse claims, the push for a national redress scheme, the recruitment of new professional standards officers and the creation of stronger child protection policies and procedures.

The royal commission is now in its final stage of examining abuse by Catholic clergy and the responses of various Catholic authorities. The final three weeks are expected to focus on cultural causes of the offending, the current child protection policies of the church, and the way it has responded to the royal commission case studies so far. The archbishops of Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne Canberra-Goulburn, Perth and Brisbane are due to give evidence.

The hearing aims to answer the questions that linger in many survivors’ minds: why did the abuse happen at such a scale? And why was it covered-up for so long?
Church leaders last week began warning churchgoers and schools about the final weeks of the royal commission. The archbishop of Brisbane, Mark Coleridge, released a video to Catholic school parents and churches warning them to expect some “grim moments”. He said the final hearing would allow the church to tell a “better story” about how it has changed.

“Through these three weeks there will be some grim moments and there will be some shocks, inevitably,” he said. “But there will also be a chance to tell a better story of what has been done and what is being done now.”

He said the church would need to show how it had changed culturally, as well as through amendments to flawed child protection policies and procedures.
“It’s not enough to change procedures and protocols, that has to happen. But we have to shift the culture and that’s a much more difficult thing to do,” he said.

A 70-year-old Danish man has been charged with ordering numerous child rape and sex abuse livestreams from third-world countries, where each assault usually cost the predator no more than $40.

The man, who allegedly ordered sex abuse of children, predominantly Filipino, over the internet and had them streamed to his computer, was charged on Wednesday with 346 counts of participating in sexual assaults or rapes of minors.

He was arrested in Copenhagen’s suburb of Brondby last February, and it took the prosecutors, in cooperation with cyber police, a whole year to collect and process all the evidence and to finally charge the suspect in this “historic scale case.”

“As far as I know we’ve never had a case in the whole world in which one person is charged with so many assaults,” Flemming Kaerside of the Danish National Police’s Cyber Crime Center said, according to The Local.

The indictment is reportedly a massive 119-page document, depicting quite disturbing details of the alleged acts of sexual abuse.

The suspect allegedly paid quite a modest sums to adults – usually not more than 280 kroner (approx. $40) – to have children sexually abused. Some instances involved parents molesting their own children, while in other cases minors were forced to perform sexual acts on each other.

In one case, a four-year-old girl was violated by her mother on demand of the alleged predator, while in another, a three year-old-girl was forced to perform oral sex on a five-year-old girl.

The hearings will begin on 28th February in Glostrup court and a ruling on this appalling case is expected in June.

It’s not the first time that pedophiles in Denmark have been caught not only ‘collecting’ child pornography, but actually ‘ordering’ it online. The main target for such predators are children from poor countries. It is, however, quite hard to provide evidence for such activities if perpetrators do not store recordings of sickening livestreams on their computers. In March 2015, ten people were arrested during investigation of a similar case, but nine of them were released almost immediately due to lack of evidence.

One of the trials, where a child abuse livestream connoisseur was actually convicted occurred in North Jutland in 2014. A man was sentenced to three-and-a-half years for ordering a number of rapes and assaults on Filipino children. The pedophile paid adults a sum between 20 and $40 to commit and livestream the crime.

Huckle’s parents reportedly begged police to take their son away after he admitted to the crimes when his mother questioned him on the allegations.

The freelance photographer faces multiple life sentences after pleading guilty in April to 71 offences, including 14 charges of rape of a child under 13.

In what has become one of the worst child abuse cases ever brought before a British court, 22 of the charges he faced carry a maximum life sentence.

Authorities described the scale of his offending as “unprecedented.”

“He was a constant groomer. He’s one of the most committed, manipulative, conniving pedophiles I have come across,” said NCA Detective Superintendent Matthew Long from the agency’s child abuse command.

Huckle, who was raised in a middle-class Christian family in Kent, boasted of his abusive exploits online.

“To be honest if you really want to embrace child love poverty is the way to go. Most of my skill and experience comes from living in Asia,” he wrote on the dark website True Love Zone (TLZ), which has since been taken down.

“As long as I keep a broad number of contacts amongst the poorer people I know, I’m sure someone would be inclined for someone of ‘high status’ such as myself to be caring for their kids for long or short term,” he wrote.

“Impoverished kids are definitely much much easier to seduce than middle-class western kids, I still plan on publishing a guide on this subject sometime.”

Huckle, who can be named for the first time on Thursday after reporting restrictions were overturned, was arrested when he flew into Britain in 2014 after a tip-off from Australian authorities.

Both parents made witness statements in support of his prosecution, according to prosecutor Brian O’Neill.

“His mother was both extremely upset and extremely angry. She and his father called the police and asked them to take their son away,” he told the court.

For the past few years I have been monitoring reports of professors and staff arrested for trading in child rape and torture; aka child pornography. My research, which is far from comprehensive, details 90 professors and staff arrested on child rape and torture, aka child porn, charges. Both the volume and type of crime should raise alarm bells. Yet academic institutions remain silent. Protect the institution, not the children, appears to be the rallying cry at far too many higher education institutions.

As you read these accounts of arrests, please remember these are real children being raped and tortured in these videos and images. American children. Perhaps, even a child you know and have no idea how that child is suffering. It might even be your own child.

Every time an image or video is shared, that child is trafficked again.

The wheels of justice didn’t turn at all in Philadelphia because the Church concealed the crimes and protected the rapists.

In this column on Friday, a reference was made to the quote from Chinese author Sun Tzu or Sūn Wu in “The Art of War” that says “the wheels of justice grind slow, but grind exceedingly fine.” The statement is relatively accurate in the secular world, but is not remotely applicable to religion; particularly the Catholic religion. This is not an indictment of the faith as a whole, but it is a condemnation of the Vatican leadership that allowed pedophilia by its clergy to go unpunished and unreported despite the tens-of-thousands of lives that have been forever ruined.
There will never be any real justice for the victims of sexual abuse perpetrated by Catholic priests in and around Philadelphia; at least not in the sense that even one of the 50 serial rapists will ever be punished. In those cases, the wheels of justice not only did not turn slowly, they didn’t turn at all because the Church concealed the crimes and protected the rapists. However, according to a grand jury report released Tuesday; “Hundreds of children in western Pennsylvania were sexually assaulted by 50 Roman Catholic priests over four decades while the diocese’ Catholic bishops covered up their actions.”

The “too little, too late” report revealed that the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese Bishop James Hogan who passed away in 2005, and the bishop following him, Joseph Adamec who retired in 2011, were “diligent in concealing the pedophile priests’ crimes.” The not-so-stunning findings also revealed that many local law enforcement agencies refused to investigate the sexual abuse allegations according to the Pennsylvania Attorney General Kathleen Kane. The wheels of justice can hardly turn when powerful religious leaders and their law enforcement facilitators get in the way.

The real tragedy is that despite any private lawsuits against the Church, the diocese, church leaders, or individual rapists, no-one will ever punish the monsters responsible for sexually abusing children. It is as good to be a religious leader as it is to be a crooked Republican governor or corrupt businessman like Willard Romney because none of them will ever be held to account for their crimes. In the rapist priests’ cases, the crimes committed over the course of over 40 years exceed the statute of limitations and cannot be prosecuted. Attorney General Kane announced that “no criminal charges can, or will, be filed because the incidents are just too old to be prosecuted.”

She also said, “The heinous crimes these children endured are absolutely unconscionable. These predators desecrated a sacred trust and preyed upon their victims in the very places where they should have felt most safe.” One wonders why Kane did not lash out at the various local law enforcement agencies that looked the other way while the powerful and influential “holy men” were sodomizing children. Obviously, the wheels of justice are as apt to come to an abrupt halt when law enforcement is corrupt as when religious leaders and corrupt Republicans violate the law. It is as good to be in law enforcement, apparently, as it is to be in positions of leadership in religion.

This obscene idea that members of the clergy are above the law is something that advocates for child victims of sexual assault have long been urging lawmakers to change; at least to give prosecutors more time to bring sexual abuse charges against members of the clergy. The victims’ advocates have noted, particularly in the case of sexual assaults against minors, that the young victims may take several years before they come forward or alert even their parents. Of course, those ornately-robed monsters in funny collars are fully aware that children are not inclined to report being raped by priests who are a veritable law unto themselves in the eyes of the faithful; especially little children raised to be awestruck by the righteous authority of the clergy.

The 147-page Grand Jury report contained “explicit and very graphic details of the scores of sexual attacks against children,” including naming the righteous perpetrators; many of whom have died or were transferred to other parishes and diocese to spread their “priestly love” around the country and, indeed, the world. In fact, during the two years the Grand Jury was carefully investigating over forty years’ worth of priestly sexual assaults, many of the still-surviving rapists were safely ensconced within the Altoona-Johnstown Diocese to continue down the path of unrighteousness toward children according to Attorney General Kane.

Allegedly, all of the remaining sexual-predator priests were recently removed by the current Altoona-Johnstown Bishop, Mark Bartchak, just in time to miss out on the damning Grand Jury report’s unveiling; it is a very common practice to continue protecting the child rapists even when they are caught red-handed until it appears the long arm of the law is approaching; then they are typically transferred to a diocese far away from the original scene of the crimes.

One serial rapist priest in California, for example, was sent from one California parish to another, and eventually had to be assigned out of country to South America to impose his particularly twisted brand of “Christian love” on poor Hispanic children. After he was caught and exposed as a monster on another continent, the abuser was transferred back to his original parish crime scene to sexually assault a new generation of innocent children.

When the story finally came out exposing the serial pedophile priest, the local diocese’ bishop said precisely what the current Altoona-Johnstown bishop said when his, and the Vatican’s role in creating, protecting, and expanding the reach of the pedophilia ring was exposed publicly; “This is a very painful and difficult time for our Diocesan Church. I deeply regret any harm that has come to children.”

The director of the Survivors Network of Those Abused By Priests, David Clohessy, said in a statement that “We’re saddened but not the least bit surprised. It proves what we’ve long maintained: that even now, under the guise of ‘reform,’ bishops continue to deceive parishioners and the public about their ongoing efforts to hide abuse.” There was no response to requests for comment from the former, and now retired, Bishop Joseph Adamec; likely because he is waiting for explicit directions from the Vatican that will excuse both the church and clergy from any culpability to avoid paying out damages to the victims.
